Example: diagrams with and without double prints checked
With double prints not checked there will
be a printout with each PrintGo signal.
Therefore a received character string
may be printed more than once.
Wildcards
There is an indicator which shows the current number of wildcards (15) and a display
field for inputs (16). When you place the Cursor in the display field a keyboard for inputs
will open (17). Changing the number and kind of the wildcard character (19) will be
immediately shown by the indicator (18). In the job editor the defined <Wildcards> are
shown as content of the <Extern text: fixed length> object (26).
Wildcards for an <Extern Text:fixed length> object have two functions:
1. The characters of the set wildcards represent the first character string that will be
displayed on the WYSIWYG display and printed. They will then be replaced by
the first received data.
2. Wildcards define together with the character offset the length of the input buffer
and therefore the number of characters to be considered.
Character offset
With the character offset (12) (abbreviated: OS) you can define how many characters
from the left side of the received character string will be ignored. Together with the
<Wildcards> the <Character offset> defines the length of the input buffer. You can set
the character offset either with the arrow keys of the display field (20) or with a numeric
keypad (21) displayed when placing the cursor in the display field.
Release 2.02
Job Editor
With double prints checked there will be
only one print-out with each PrintGo
signal. If a second PrintGo signal occurs
before new data were received will an
error message will be displayed.
Therefore a received character string is
always printed once only.
