Data input
• Enter Text Article
Syntax: [SOM] 0 <output> <dataservice> [CR]
<article text line> [CR]
<article text line> [CR]
[EOM] [CR]
A text article is input into the encoder’s article memory. The encoder can store one
article per output channel. Data service is either T1 or T2.
Delays of 1 to 9 seconds may be included in the article as <^Bn> with n being the
number of seconds to delay the output.
A color change may be input into the article text by including <^Dc> with c = W, G, B,
C, R, Y, M, or I for White, Green, Blue, Cyan, Red, Yellow, Magenta or Italics. An
uppercase character indicates no underline, a lower case characters indicates underline.
The valid data range is: 0, 2, 4, 20h - 7fh. Invalid data bytes are ignored. The article
memory must be empty before sending this command, otherwise the encoder will return
an error code. (See “Delete Text Article”). If the article exceeds the buffer size (1000
bytes), the encoder will return an error code and drop the article.
Errors: 1. Unrecognized command
2. Invalid command argument(s)
3. Article already exists
7. Article buffer size exceeded
• Delete Text Article
Syntax: [SOM] 4 <output> [CR]
The text article in the specified output memory is deleted. If the article is currently
being output, it is not removed until the current transmission has been completed.
Note: An article has to be deleted before a new one can be input into memory.
Errors: 1. Unrecognized command
2. Invalid command argument(s)
4. Article not accessible or does not exist
