STX S Recall Global Data and Place in Field

This command, when in the format record data field, places data from a specified global

Syntax:

STX>Sn

Where:

Specifies the global register (A P) that contains the

data to place into the data field.

Sample:

121100000000000DMX<CR>

G<CR>

1A2210001000000<STX>SA<CR>

E<CR>

The sample above places the string “DMX” into the next available

global register (A), and then line 4 is effectively replaced by the

data from global register A.

STX T Print Time and Date

This command, using string characters and markers, allows time and date data to be

selected and retrieved from the internal clock. In addition, the <STX>T may be preceded

by data to be printed/encoded, and/or the string may be terminated by an <STX>

command followed by more data then <CR> terminated. The string characters/markers

are not printed; instead, the label will show the corresponding print value.

Syntax:

STX>Tstring

Where:

trin

Is any set of characters, A - Z and a – h; see the

table below.
