Setting the Repeat String Parameters
Recall that the Repeat String feature allows you to repeatedly display a
string. 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 order to use the Repeat String feature, you must define the range (that is,
the Start , End , and Increment values) 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 string is to be displayed, 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 displayed.
(2) The index is incremented (according to the Increment value).
The string is displayed for each index value, until the index value exceeds
the
End value.
