SECTION SIX - PARAMETRIC PROGRAMMING
#n[LT] #n[LT] displays parameter n with L leading digits and T trailing digits.
Example: P100=1.235 P101=2.87656
PRINT [P100=#100[04] P101=#101[33]] shows
“P100=1.2350 P101=002.877”
If the leading and trailing fields are left blank, the default leading and trailing format for
the machine setup parameters is used.
When LT=0, exceptions apply.
If LT=0, the ASCII value of the parameter is shown.
Example: P1=72 (ASCII H)
P2=105 (ASCII i)
PRINT [#1[00]#2[00]] shows “Hi”
If LT=-1, the parameter is ignored. The time is shown in format 0hh:mm:ss.
If LT=-2, the parameter is ignored. The date is shown in format yy/mm/dd.
Example: PRINT [Time=#1[-1] Date=#1[-2]] shows “Time=012:51:52
Date=97/10/23”
POPEN The POPEN command opens a file or RS-232 for output using the
DPRNT command.
POPEN P0 The POPEN P0 command opens a file for output. The file to open is
specified in the MISC parameters. If the file name in this parameter is
blank, the output will be written to REPORT.DAT.
POPEN P1 The POPEN P1 command opens serial port 1 for output.
POPEN P2 POPEN P2 opens serial port 2 for output.
PCLOS PCLOS will close a serial port that has been opened using POPEN.
