8.7.5.2.3 Extern Text: variable length – Printout/Deleting the input buffer
There can be up to 32 <Extern Text> objects within a print job. For each object you can
define the number of wildcards and the offset separately. But nevertheless all <Extern
Text> objects within a print job will process the same received character string. It is just
a matter of the <Start symbol>, <End symbol>, the <Wildcards> and the <Offset>
settings which part of the received character string is used by the <Extern Text:
variable length> object.
The received serial data are stored in an input buffer. The size of this buffer is defined
by the <Extern Text: variable length> object that have the largest sum from wildcards
and offset.
There are 2 basic rules for using more than one <Extern Text: variable length>
object in a print job:
1. Basically it is possible to use different <Start symbols> and <End symbols> for
each <Extern Text: variable length> object created. However this wouldn't be
advisable because only <Start symbol> and <End symbol>of the last created
<Extern Text: variable length> object will be used. If the object is deleted, the
<Start symbol> and <End symbol>of the object created before the delete
object will be used and so on. Therefore it is highly recommended using the
same <Start symbol> and <End symbol> for all <Extern Text: variable
length> objects within the same print job.
2. Using within the same print job several <Extern Text: variable length> objects
which have all the same <Start symbol> and <End symbol> offers the
possibility of controlling the content to be used of a character string by wildcards
and offset for each object separately.
Example print-out:
The example is a print job with three <Extern Text: variable length> objects. Each
object has different settings for wildcards and offset. The <Start symbol> and <End
symbol> shall be the same for all three objects. The character string
xxxGabc123456Sxxx shall be transmitted.
The settings for each <Extern Text: variable length> object looks as follows:
Object 1:
Wildcards:
Offset:
Sum of wildcards and offset:
Start symbol:
End symbol:
