Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports
8 – 31
Index character as part of data code
Index character alone
The resulting transmission for the inspection consists of five strings, one for
each increment of the index (1-5), where the gage results are transmitted for
gages 1-5, respectively:
Gage 1 = 205 [CR] [LF] – (where current index is 1)
Gage 2 = 30 [CR] [LF] – (current index is 2)
Gage 3 = [CR] [LF] – (current index is 3)
Gage 4 = 110 [CR] [LF] – (current index is 4)
Gage 5 = 20 [CR] [LF] – (current index is 5)
Regarding the first # (index) character in the string: because the # is entered
alone in the string, the current index number is transmitted at that point. This
is used in identifying the gage results, 1-5, in each string, respectively:
Index character
Transmitted Strings: Gage 1 = 205 [CR] [LF]
Gage 2 = 30 [CR] [LF]
. . . etc.
The second # is used with the data code – g# ; used this way, the index
causes the transmission of the gage results for gages 1-5, respectively, as the
index increments from 1-5:
Index character
Transmitted String: Gage 1 = 205 [CR] [LF]
Gage 2 = 30 [CR] [LF]
. . . etc.
