Custom String Command

Command: @@A . . . , @@B . . .
The 1093A/B/C is able to store two custom strings for broadcasting; one (i.e. Custom A) may
be broadcast from the main serial port and one (i.e. Custom B) from the option serial port (Option
19 required). Use the @@A . . . command to create a Custom A string, and the @@B . . . command
to create a Custom B string. Available characters and controls that may define these strings are
listed in Table 10.1, followed by custom string examples.
Start Custom Broadcast
Command: B9, O9
B9 activates the Custom A string broadcast from the main serial port; O9 activates the Custom B
string broadcast from the option serial port. Use the B0 and O0 commands to stop the broadcast
(see Section 10.2.3).
Return Custom String
Command: UB, UO
Use the UB command to return the Custom A string definition (Standard RS-232 port), and the
UO command to return the Custom B string definition (Option RS-232 port, requires Option 19).
