Inputting String Variables

String variables with up to six characters may be input using the specifier, {Sn} where n represents the number of string characters to be input. If n is not specified, six characters will be accepted. For example, IN "Enter A,B or C", V{S} specifies a string variable to be input.

The DMC-2x00, stores all variables as 6 bytes of information. When a variable is specified as a number, the value of the variable is represented as 4 bytes of integer and 2 bytes of fraction. When a variable is specified as a string, the variable can hold up to 6 characters (each ASCII character is 1 byte). When using the IN command for string input, the first input character will be placed in the top byte of the variable and the last character will be placed in the lowest significant byte of the fraction. The characters can be individually separated by using bit-wise operations, see section Bit-wise Operators.

Output of Data (Numeric and String)

Numerical and string data can be output from the controller using several methods. The message command, MG, can output string and numerical data. Also, the controller can be commanded to return the values of variables and arrays, as well as other information using the interrogation commands (the interrogation commands are described in chapter 5).
