Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports
8 – 28
The
Repeat String
feature enables the Color CVIM module to repeat a
particular string multiple times for the same event (see “Defining the Event”
in this chapter). This is accomplished through the use of an “index” number,
which is incremented through a range of values – you define this range using
the
Repeat String
menu.

In configuring the repeat range for a string, you set the
Start
, the
End
, and
the
Increment
values:
Start value
End value
Increment value
During operation in the run mode, when the event conditions are satisfied for
sending the string, the index is set to the
Start
value, then:
(1) If the
End
value is greater than or equal to the
Start
value, the string
is sent.
(2) The index is incremented (according to the
Increment
value).
