Example 5 (Send 2-Line Message)
Command Function: Display message as shown below on lines 1 and 2 of all
DL50s using the line number field value of 30.
.
Sequenc Err or
ROBOT
e
NOT POSI T

IONED
The command is written for a Catalog No. 2706-F11J or -F11JC display.
Address 127 specifies that the message is displayed on all DL50s. The word
“NOT” in the message will flash. The host would need to send the following

A simple BASIC program for a host PC to send the message would be:
100: L1$ = “Sequence Error: (5 Spaces)”
110: L2$ = “ROBOT ” + CHR$(6) + “NOT” + CHR$(6) + “POSITIONED”
120: Print #1, L1$ + L2$ + CHR$(127) + CHR$(30) + CHR$(13)
