Example 2: Retrieve numerical data from the received ASCII message.
When numerical data is included in the received ASCII message, you may want to retrieve
the numerical data and copy into a data register. The Copy instruction can be used for this
purpose.
In this example, received ASCII message is stored in TXT1 to TXT6. This ASCII message
includes numerical data ‘1.23’ as ASCII characters from TXT3 to TXT6. The Copy instruction
converts those ASCII characters into the equivalent numerical data and copies into data register
DF1.
