3.8.1.3 MASTER FRAMES FIELD ELEMENTS

This section describes the “Master Frames” field’s two elements.

3.8.1.3.1 ID

The “ID” element displays the identifier byte to be sent without the upper two parity bits.

Parity is calculated and appended at send time unless the application is in the Debug

mode (see Section 3.6.1 “Debug Mode”).

The acceptable range of values is 00 to 3F hex (0 to 63 decimal).

3.8.1.3.2 DATA

The “Data” portion of the “Master Frames” field displays zero to eight-byte values,

separated by spaces.

3.8.2 Message Controls

3.8.2.1 SEND BUTTON

Clicking this button transmits the message content that is highlighted in the “Master

Frames” field (see the “Send” procedure in Section 3.8.1.2 “Developing and Storing

Message Content”).

When the Send button is clicked, the message is sent once (see

Section 3.8.3 “Checksum Group”).

If the Transaction window is open and active, the message and any response will be

displayed.

3.8.2.2 CONTINUOUS BUTTON

Clicking the Continuous button sends the selected message entry or entries continu-

ously, at an interval defined in the time control text box, described next. A second click

of the button stops the continuous transmissions.

Any number of messages may be selected for continuous broadcast. They will be

transmitted in the order they appear in the “Master Frames” field.

3.8.2.3 TIME CONTROL

Used in conjunction with the Continuous button, this text box sets the interval, in

milliseconds, between message frames being sent in the Continuous mode.

3.8.2.4 ADD BUTTON

Click the Add button to add a new message to the “Master Frames” field

3.8.2.5 EDIT BUTTON

Allows the selected message in the “Master Frames” field to be edited.

Note: Due to service latency time in the Windows operating system environment,

the minimum time interval may be as high as 200 ms, regardless of desired

time set in the control box. Intervals less than 200 ms will be serviced as

fast as possible, but may not be less than the operating system minimum.
