Basic Steps for Creating Custom Serial Port Messages
To create a custom serial port message:
• Insert the Setup card into the Archive Memory slot on the CVIM module.
• Pick the Env. → Config. Output boxes to display the Config. Output
menu; this may display a viewport (if a viewport is currently selected):
Viewport Border
Viewport 1 selected
Config. Output box selected
• Select the specific serial port (A or B) you are going to use for
communication using the corresponding Previous/Next boxes.
Picking Next box repeatedly cycles though the selection of Viewports
1–40, then Serial Port A, Serial Port B, then Viewports 1–40, etc.
Picking the Previous box when Viewport 1 is displayed would select
Serial Port B; picking Previous again would select Serial Port A.
• Define one or more “strings” for the selected serial port:
− Select the string, using the corresponding Next/Previous boxes.
String 1 selected
Previous / Next boxes
− Pick the Enter String Text box to display the string entry keyboard.
Using the string entry keyboard, you enter specific string “elements”
