Several test transmissions were tested with a 574 having
the setup above. These are shown below along with their
respective results:
Transmitted
or Barcoded
Data
Result
Q123 stores "123" into Reg 1.
Q 234 stores "234" into Reg 1.
(leading space ignored)
Q 345hello stores "345" into Reg 1.
(hello is stripped off since Reg 1 is a
numeric field.)
Q321 987 stores "321" in Reg 1. (" 987"
is lost due to space)
P10-40-5503 stores "10-40-5503" into ID 2.
P 09-30-0238 stores "09-30-0238" in ID 2
(does not store leading
space!)
P200550-00000 stores "200550-000" in ID 2
(loses last two "0"'s since ID
size is only ten!
MPNOT STORED nothing stored! "M" not
defined, "P" not first.
MP NOT STORED nothing stored! "M" not
defined, "P" not first.
S112233 stores "112233" into ID 3.
S112-233 stores "112-233" into ID 3.
S112-233x stores "112-233x" into ID 3.
S112,233x stores "112,233x" into ID 3.
VCRYSTAL SEMI stores "CRYSTAL" into ID 1.
(the " SEMI" is lost due to the
space.)
VCRYSTALSEMI stores "CRYSTALSEMI" into
ID 1.
V987654 stores "987654" into ID 1.
V 987 654 stores "987" into ID 1. (the
leading space is stripped and
the space in the middle
caused the " 654" to not be
stored.)
V"GSE INC." stores ""GSE" into ID 1
(strips off trailing "INC.""
due to space)
Tips on Using the Input Interpreter
with the
450/550/570/574 Simulator Software
The 574 simulator can be a valuable tool in testing out
various setups for the 574. For the most part it works
just the same as the 574 itself. The primary difference is
in the handling of RS-232 I/O.
1. Enable and setup the 550 simulator to interpret a
specific format unique to your application.
2. Create an ASCII text file identical to the format set
in the unit.
3. Press <ALT> <F1> and setup the com input to
receive the ASCII text file created.
4. Run the test several times with the correct data
ASCII file and also with an ASCII file with incorrect
information. This will verify that the simulator will
respond to only the data required.
