User Communication Transmit Instruction Dialog Box in WindLDR
Selections and Operands in Transmit Instruction Dialog Box
Transmit Data
Transmit data is designated by source operand S1 using constant values or data registers. BCC code can also be calculated
automatically and appended to the transmit data. One TXD instruction can transmit 200 bytes of data at the maximum.
S1 (Source 1)
Designating Constant as S1
When a constant value is designated as source operand S1, one-byte data is transmitted without conversion. The valid
transmit data value depends on the data bits selected in the Communication Parameters dialog box, which is called from
Configure > Fun Area Settings > Communication, followed by selecting User Protocol in Port 1 or Port 2 list box and
clicking the Configure button. When 7 data bits are selected as default, 00h through 7Fh is transmitted. When 8 data bits
are selected, 00h through FFh is transmitted. Constant values are entered in character or hexadecimal notation into the
source data.
Constant (Character)
Any character available on the computer keyboard can be entered. One character is counted as one byte.
Constant (Hexadecimal)
Use this option to enter the hexadecimal code of any ASCII character. ASCII control codes NUL (00h) through US (1Fh)
can also be entered using this option.
