Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are
4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first charac-
ter in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in
the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is
FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to
the following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII
capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an
ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character con-
version: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were
converted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs,
since they are all FF.
