Programming the message information
The following command can be used for programming user-related information and display parameters for message processing. The information and the parameters are also transmitted as ASCII-characters.
#MSG INFO [<mode>] [<receiver>] ["<message_information>"]
In contrast to a message, in which the message receiver usually merely displays the ASCII string, the message information indicates that the ASCII-string contains user-related information that is encoded by the receiver itself.
SYN mode must be specified if the message information is to be sent to the receiver synchronously with the processing state in the interpolator. The message is output immediately after decoding if a mode has not been specified (see previous chapter ).
For the receiver specifications, the same requirements as for the #MSG command apply.
The message information must be enclosed in quotation marks "...". For the output of numerical values the same format elements as for the #MSG command are available (see previous chapter).
Programming example
P1 = 20
#MSG INFO ["RED,%d,BOLD ,P1]
In this example, the string RED, 20, BOLD
is sent as message information to the default receiver.
