Message Formatting Selections
Terminator Setting
Terminator characters are used to end a string of data in some applica-
tions.
Syntax: /e/d/fb<space>b1<ENTER>where...
b1 = 0 for <ENTER>
b1 = 1 for <ENTER>
b1 = 2 for <ENTER>
b1 = 3 for none
Preamble Setting
Characters can be added to the beginning of a string of data. These
can be special characters for identifying a specific reading station, to
format a message header expected by the receiving host, or any other
character string. Up to nine ASCII characters can be defined.
Syntax: /e/d/fc<space>string<ENTER>(length is 0 to 9)
Postamble Selection
The postamble serves the same purpose as the preamble, except it is
added to the end of a string of data (after any terminator characters).
Syntax: /e/d/fd<space>string<ENTER>(length is 0 to 9)
Note: /e/d/fc or /e/d/fd without parameters will go back to default: no pre-
amble and postamble.
