Chapter 8
Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports
8 – 29
The string is sent for each index value, until the index value exceeds the
End value.
For example, to repeat a string 5 times, you can set the Start value to 1, the
End value to 5, and the Increment to 1. The index will increment through
values 1 to 5. Or, you can set the Start value to 6, the End value to 10, and
set the Increment to 1, so the index will increment from 6-10, and so forth.
You can use the # (index) character in a string; when the # is placed in the
string text, the Color CVIM module replaces the # with the current index
value when the string is transmitted or displayed (see also “Example of
Using the Repeat String and Index Character” in this chapter).
