CHAPTER 4
The MESsage? query returns the previously stored message. This message will always
be 16 bytes long and enclosed in quotes. The message is entered via the MESsage
command.
- where the response is a 16-byte long character string.
Notes The response data will be a 16-byte long string. If there is no previously stored message,
the response will be " ", all spaces.
Examples "MES?" -response: "Test 3 ", means the previously stored message was "Test 3".
"Message?" -response: "This is a test. ", means the previously stored message was
"This is a test."
The RADix command allows the programmer to select the radix type for status,
condition, and event query response data. Decimal, binary, hexadecimal, and octal are
allowed.
Parameters As shown above, character program data is expected.
Notes DECimal is the default type. Only the first three letters of the words decimal,
hexadecimal, binary, or octal are required.
When the RADIX is selected, all status, condition, and event queries will return values in
the new radix.
In the cases where the radix is not DECimal, the flexible numeric type <nrf value> (as
shown in the Command Reference diagrams) will be replaced by HEX, BIN, or OCT
representation.
All of the above radixes may be used to enter program data at any time, without the need
for issuing the RADix command. The proper prefix must also be used with Hex (#H),
binary (#B), or octal (#Q).
This command may be useful for setting up status reporting blocks. The bit-wise status
representation may be more easily read in BIN, HEX, or OCT.
Examples "RAD dec" -action: the decimal radix is selected.
