Table D-1. Special serial receive strings for Isis
String Meaning of String Function
Event n
Generates an event mark in Isis. When followed by a
number, the user can specify the event number.
When the Event line is received alone, Isis assigns
the next available event number (counting begins at
the value specified in the file EVENT.NUM, which
Isis checks at startup). The event number is
displayed in the Window/Status and Control/Sensors
dialog box. A red line will be displayed across the
sonar data if enabled in View→Overlay. (Note: This
string is not case sensitive.)
NOTE
(followed by ASCII string
up to 200 characters long)
This causes the following to happen:
1. If plotting is active with annotation of
“notes,” the string is printed on the plotter.
2. If saving in XTF format, the string is
saved into the XTF file.
3. The string is displayed at the bottom of
the Parameter display in the “Note” field.
(Isis version 2.56 and later)
REPLAY n
Causes Isis to instruct the Target utility to replay a
contact. For example, REPLAY 45, when received
over any active serial port, causes Target to display
contact 45. The template for the com port must be
prepared with the token {CONIN} to enable Isis to
monitor the serial port for “contact in” instructions;
Playback Mode only.
