Ctrl Command load_text_table
Comments • Up to 42 indexed text strings can be stored (for marking times, dates and serial numbers
via other commands). The following ordering applies:
– Index = 0... 9: digits for marking the time and date [0 ... 9]
– Index = 10...21: months [January ... December]
– Index = 22...28: days-of-the-week [Sunday ... Saturday]
– Index = 29: blank character for marking serial numbers
– Index = 30...39: digits for marking serial numbers [0 ... 9]
– Index = 40: text for "a.m."
– Index = 41: text for "p.m."
If Index > 41 then the load_text_table command will be ignored
return code RTC5_PARAM_ERROR).
• Even if digits are defined via
mark_char, the character set can still be subsequently switched for this purpose (see
select_char_set).
• The addresses in the protected buffer area where the text string definitions will be
stored are automatically determined and internally managed. Management is indepen-
dent of that for indexed subroutines (see load_sub) and character definitions (see
load_char).
• Indexed text string definitions must be terminated with a
a prerequisite for actual storage of the commands, entry of the start address and other
information (e.g., the number of commands) into the internal management table, and
initiating a flush of the list input buffer (see

• An indexed text string definition will not be stored if the protected buffer area ("List 3")
was not previously configured for a sufficient size beyond "List 1" and "List 2".
• If list_return
string definition will be deleted from the internal management table.
