Creating Messages with
Embedded Variable Data

You can program variable data within a message while the message is being
created in the edit mode. To embed one digit of a variable, press the [Ctrl]
key and [V] keys simultaneously at the location in the message where the
variable digit is to appear. The [Ctrl] and [V] command will insert a caret ^
in the message. For example: Assume that the following message is being
entered:

To embed a single digit of a variable, press the [Ctrl] and [V] keys. The
DL5 will display the location of the variable in the message:

Up to five single digit variables (only four variables allowed with BCD
format) can be embedded in a message. The embedded variables do not
have to be in consecutive positions in a message. For example: The
following message has been entered, the DL5 is set to accept BCD
formatted data:

If the number 1050 is transferred to the DL5 and the message is triggered,
the DL5 will display:

7+( &2817 ,6

7+( &2817 ,6A
