Data values can be entered on separate lines, or on the same line but separated by spaces. For example, here are two ways to format the same data:
R,15,T,1 ; This specifier must be on line 1, and be as shown.
156; This is register 15, the setpoint temperature for the donut ovens. ±945 ; R16 contains the number of donuts we are ahead of schedule with 4467 ; This will be R17 data.
OR
R,15,T,1
156±945 4467 ; R15±R17 contains the donut specific information
In the first example, each value is on a separate line, and each line includes a comment.
In the second example, the second line of the file contains all there values to be downloaded, separated by spaces.
When entering numerical data do not use commas. For example, for the number ten±thousand, you must enter 10000, not 10,000.
Anything on a line followed by the ª;º character is interpreted as a comment. This allows you to document the contents of your recipe files. The first item on the line must be the register contents.
After completing the file, press F10 to save the file and return to the menu.
