LINE ANALYZER
Description
The Line Analyzer (
LINE–ALY.PRG
Fingerprint programming language and intended to help solving
possible communication problems. As the name implies, the Line
Analyzer captures all incoming characters on a specified commu-
nication channel and prints them on one or several labels.
Printable characters are printed in black-on-white, whereas control
characters and space characters (ASCII 00–32 dec) are printed in
white on a black background.
While the printer is receiving data, the "Ready" control lamp blinks.
There is a 0.5 sec timeout. If no more character has been received
after 0.5 seconds, the program considers the transmission termi-
nated and prints out a label.
As long as a continuous string of characters is being received, the
program wraps the lines until the label is full and then starts to print
another label. At the bottom of each label, the following informa-
tion is printed:
• Page number
• Number of characters printed on the label
• Total of characters received so far
If the whole label is not filled, before the printer starts printing
another one, the image buffer is too small. We recommend to
increase the image buffer before starting the Line Analyzer.
The Line Analyzer is displayed as the option
under the
"SEL. APPLICATION"
been selected and the printer has started up again, the printer feeds
out two labels and the following menu is displayed:
Line Analyzer
Sel.port(1-4) 1
The communication port are numbered as follows:
1 = "uart1:"
2 = "uart2:"
3 = "uart3:"
4 = "centronics:"
You can scroll between the ports, which are organized as a
continuous loop (1-2-3-4-1....) by pressing the < Print > key with
the printhead lifted. If the printer is not fitted with a port, an error
message appears in the display:
Line Analyzer
Error:56
Go on pressing the < Print > key until the number of the desired
port is displayed, then lower the printhead.
