ASCII Commands for the USER–PAK Option
With the USER–PAK option installed, the CVIM module recognizes
additional ASCII commands through its serial port(s). This appendix lists
and describes these additional commands.
This section lists and describes the following commands:
•
Force Print
•
Write Display (enhancement)
•
Write String Data
•
Read String Data
•
Suspend / Resume Serial Port Output
Command format: The command descriptions include the format for each
command, such as
>OF, p, s.
Each command begins with the > character; this is ASCII character 62
(decimal). Also, except for the Write Display command, the letter O (not
zero) follows the > character in each of the commands described.
Force Print Command
The Force Print command causes the display or transmission of a specified
string during run mode operation of the CVIM module, and can applied to
either serial port strings, or viewport strings. The command format and
effect are slightly different for viewport strings than for serial port strings.
The two respective command formats are discussed below.
Force Print for Viewport Strings
For viewport strings, the Force Print command takes this format:
>OF, p, s
Where: p = number of viewport
s = number of string
When the command is invoked for a viewport string, the specified string is
displayed immediately, given the following conditions:
•
The specified viewport is currently displayed.
•
For the last displayed inspection, the Event conditions defined for the
specified string are true.
Note: The toolset specification on the Event menu for the string is not a
factor in displaying the string with the Force Print command. Thus, you
can use the Force Print command to display a string that is not normally
displayed for either toolset.
