Appendix G User-Defined Messages
This appendix describes how the host can define user-defined messages on the device. Start by creating a
block of user-defined message data (see Table 3-95) containing one or more user data strings, and send it
to the device using Report 0x10 – Send Big Block Data to Device. The messages are then available
when using the Select or Display commands.
Table 3-95 - User-Defined Messages Big Block Format
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Byte 0 # of user-defined messages
Byte 1..a1 User-defined message 1 (see Table 3-96)
Byte
a1+1..a2 Optional user-defined message 2 (see Table 3-96)
…
Etc. (see Table 3-96)
Table 3-96 - User-defined Message Format
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Byte 0 Length of parameters + string (no null at end of string) [includes this byte]
Byte 1 X axis location of string (0-127)
Byte 2 Y axis location of string (0-63)
Byte 3 0 =
background
unchanged
1 =
Background
cleared Set to 1
for
underline Spacing:
0 = Proportional
1 = Prop except
#’s
2 = Fixed spacing Alignment:
0 = Left
1 = Center
2 = Right Font size:
0 = Small
1 = Small Bold
2 = Big
Byte 4 0 (rfu)
Bytes 5..n String data (no terminating null)
This code snippet provides an example of how to write a user-defined message to the device:
void addUserString(MemoryStream m, byte x, byte y, byte p1, byte
p2,string s)
{
m.WriteByte((byte)(s.Length+5));
m.WriteByte(x);
m.WriteByte(y);
m.WriteByte(p1);
m.WriteByte(p2);
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encoding = new
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
m.Write(encoding.GetBytes(s),0,s.Length);
}
