Choosing Module Features
Chapter 3

If you choose report generation mode, the module ignores this bit.
IW3
Margin
Justification
03
When the module encounters the end-of-string delimiter in data received
from the ASCII device, the module allows the read block transfer of data
to the processor. If your ASCII device generates an end-of-string
delimiter, use that delimiter. (Refer to the specifications of your device.)
When you use the carriage return as the end-of-string delimiter and the
data terminal encounters the end-of-string delimiter, the print head or the
cursor of the data terminal returns to the left margin. When using a data
terminal, select any ASCII character as the end-of-string delimiter, except
the same character as the BCD delimiter. You will get an initialization
error and the module will not operate.
In most applications, you will select an end-of-string delimiter. If you do
not select an end-of-string delimiter, the module will default to the null
(CTRL 0) as the end-of-string delimiter.
Refer to tables in appendix C.5 for the complete list of ASCII characters
and their codes.
Sending EndofString Delimiter to Processor (Report Generation Mode,
Only), IW3(04)
In report generation mode, you may want to send the end-of-string
delimiter code to the processor. You would do this if you want to display
single-line messages, and your program uses the carriage return as the
end-of string delimiter. You may also want line feed with each carriage
return. In this kind of report generation application, you would send the
end-of-string delimiter to the processor by setting IW3(04)=1. You would
enable line feed on carriage return by setting IW3(05)=1.
