6287 ULTRA User’s Manual

Trigger 1 (the cent sign ¢ is the default) - exclamation point (!) - translate table # - all 256 hexadecimal data pairs in the table, in order. The following example illustrates downloading the contents of Translate Table 1, where Trigger 1 is the default cent sign (¢) and where xx...xx represents the 256 values of a translate table:

¢!1xx...xx

Downloading a Single Translate Table Value

Downloading a change to a single translate table position value will use the following format:

Trigger 1 (the cent sign ¢ is the default) - exclamation point (!) - translate table # - hexadecimal position # - hexadecimal value - semicolon (;). The following example illustrates changing the value of Translate Table 1, position 16 to a value of 99h, where Trigger 1 is the default cent sign (¢):

¢!11699;

Downloading a Partial Translate Table

Downloading a partial change to a translate table will use the following format:

Trigger 1 (the cent sign ¢ is the default) - exclamation point (!) - translate table # - hexadecimal offset position # - hexadecimal values - semicolon (;). Commas (,) must be used to separate each hexadecimal value to be downloaded. The following example illustrates changing the value of all lowercase letters in Translate Table 1 to uppercase letters, where Trigger 1 is the default cent sign (¢):

¢!18041,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,4A,4B,4C,4D,4E,4F,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,5A;

The offset position number indicates the location in the table where the changes to the translate table will begin (location 80 was used in the example above). Any values in the character string after the offset position value will replace subsequent values in consecutive order in the table. Downloading will end when a semicolon (;) is received.
