9.4 Demand Output Serial Data Format

When demand mode is configured for the serial port (STREAM parameter set to OFF), the Counterpart uses a data

string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator

configuration.

You can customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote

equipment. See Se

ction 7.0 on page 79 for more information on cu

stom print formats.

9.5 Custom Stream Formatting

Each port can be independently configured to stream a default frame format or can be customized to stream a user-

defined format. Custom formatting is very similar to the standard print formatting described in Section 7.0 on

page 79. Table 9-3 lists the format identifiers used to configure a custom st

ream format.
