4.8.4 Data Format Editor Commands
When working with the Data Format Editor, a virtual cursor is moved along
your input data string. The following commands are used to both move this
cursor to different positions, and to select, replace, and insert data into the final
output.
4.8.4.1 Send Commands
￭ Send all characters
F1 Include in the output message all of the characters from the input
message, starting from current cursor position, followed by an insert
character. Syntax = F1xx where xx stands for the insert character’s hex
value for its ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), for decimal, hex and character codes.
￭ Send a number of characters
F2 Include in the output message a number of characters followed by an
insert character. Start from the current cursor position and continue for
“nn” characters or through the last character in the input message,
followed by character “xx.” Syntax = F2nnxx where nn stands for the
numeric value (00-99) for the number of characters, and xx stands for the
insert character’s hex value for its ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII
