6 MESSAGE FORMATTING
The system always provides gun to host data communication using the following
message formatting:
Output Message from DRAGON™ D or DRAGON™ M Stand Alone
Towards Host
[Header] [Gun_Addr] [Gun_Addr_delimiter] ] [Cradle_Addr] [Cradle_Addr_delimiter]
[Time stamp] [Ts_delimiter] [Code ID] [Code Length]
CODE
[Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
Output Message from DRAGON™ M STAR-System™
Towards Host
[Header] [Time stamp] [Ts_delimiter] [Code ID] [Code Length]
CODE
[Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
For DRAGON™ M models with display, if the RS232 interface is selected for
communication between the Host and the OM-DRAGON™ cradle, then the following
additional communications between Host
and Gun can occur:
• The Host can send messages to any gun associated with that cradle to
control the Gun's display, LEDs and beeper.
• The Gun can send up to 3 user-defined characters to the Host using the 3
command keys on the gun.
These communications and their relative message formatting are detailed in the
following paragraphs.
6.1 MESSAGES FROM HOST TO GUN
The general format is:
[Gun_Addr] [Gun_Addr_delimiter]
MESSAGE
CR
NOTE:
• If you have enabled the Gun Address Stamping or the Gun Address Delimiter,
you
must specify them in every message.
