Chapter 8

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).
