String, sometimes referred to as a string literal, a literal, or just a string, is
defined as a series of characters enclosed by double quotation marks (”) as in:
“This is a string constant”
or:
“0 .. 127”
To include a double quoted character in the string, insert an additional double
quote character ahead of the double quote character in the string. For example,
the string:
serial number “B010000”
would be defined as:
“serial number ““B010000”””
Single quotation marks (’) can also be used instead of double quotation marks as
in this example:
‘serial number ‘‘B010000’’’
String constants may be of any length up to the memory limits of the waveform
generator in which the message is parsed.
