Definition: Symbol Number refers to the number of the symbol to which output formatting 
will apply. For example, if you wish to enable user-defined formatting to 
symbol # 2 in a multisymbol read cycle, you would send the command 
<K742,2,1>. 
Note that the number of symbols may exceed the format capabilities.
Serial Cmd: <K742,symbol number,status>
Options: 1 to 10
1 = Formatted output status for symbol # 1.
2 = Formatted output status for symbol # 2.
...
10 = Formatted output status for symbol # 10.
Definition: Status refers to the user-defined formatting of a selected symbol position in 
the read cycle result. Note that there is also a global formatting “enable” 
command that must be set for the formatting to be applied.
Serial Cmd: <K742,symbol number,status>
Default: Disabled
Options: 0 = Disabled  1 = Enabled (Assign parameters to specified symbol.)
 Then check the Parse boxes beneath 
the symbols that you wish to format 
for user-defined output.
Use the Set Number of Symbols spin box to 
determine the number of symbols to be included 
in the output phrase.
