SYSVAR, cont.
Remarks 1-12.
Not for public use or not implemented.
13. Ribbon counter (Read only)
Reads the value of the optional ribbon counter in EasyCoder 501 XP/601
XP. At startup, the counter is set to a value of approximately 65,000 and
is decremented by 1 for each pulse. There are 40 pulses for each turn
of the ribbon unwind unit.
14. Errors since power up (Read only)
Reads number of errors detected since last power up.
15. Errors since last SYSVAR(15) (Read only)
Reads number of errors detected since last executed SYSVAR(15).
16. Number of bytes received (Read only)
Reads the number of bytes received after the execution of a STORE INPUT
statement. Reset by the execution of a STORE IMAGE statement.
17. Number of frames received (Read only)
Reads the number of frames received after the execution of a STORE INPUT
statement. Reset by the execution of a STORE IMAGE statement.
18. Verbosity level (Set or Read)
The verbosity level can be set or read.
In the Immediate and Programming Modes, all levels are enabled by
default.
In the Intermec Direct Protocol, all levels are disabled by default.
Different verbosity levels can be selected:
SYSVAR (18) = -1 All levels enabled (= VERBON)
SYSVAR (18) = 0 No verbosity (= VERBOFF)
SYSVAR (18) = 1 Echo received characters
SYSVAR (18) = 2 “Ok” after correct command lines
SYSVAR (18) = 4 Echo input characters from comm. port
SYSVAR (18) = 8 Error after failed lines
The levels can be combined, so for example SYSVAR(18)=3 means both
“Echo received characters” and “Ok after correct command line.”
The presently selected verbosity level can also be read and is returned as a
numeric value, for example by PRINT SYSVAR(18).
