TERMINAL ELIMINATOR PLUS
The rest of this section is an itemized list and description of all possible
format options.
5.5.4.A Separate Different Slaves’ Data with a Blank Line
Because data from all the slaves is combined into the master port’s output-
data stream during Concentrate modes, this option will help in visually
separating the different ports’ data.
System switch SWF position 5 ON to enable
enabled: Slave 1’s data
disabled: Slave 1’s data
Slave 2’s data
Slave 2’s data
NOTE: The example above assumes a carriage return follows the data to
perform a line wrap.
5.5.4.B Insert a User-Assigned Label at the Beginning of Each Slave’s Data
Assign this label through the initialization menu. It can be any printable
ASCII string up to 16 characters long; it can also be a NULL string
(equivalent to no label at all). This label is inserted at the beginning of data,
as well as when data is interrupted by a line wrap caused by the record
reaching the maximum line length.
substantial labels: Slave #1 xyz
null labels: xyz
Slave #2 xyz
xyz
NOTE: The example above assumes a carriage return follows the data to
perform a line wrap.
5.5.4.C Label All Consecutive Lines from Same Slave or First Line Only
If you select “label first line only,” the TEP won’t place labels on consecutive
lines, but rather will transmit space characters equal to the size of the label so
the data output on each line starts in the same column. (This assumes that
switch SWF position 7 is OFF; see the next format option.)
System switch SWF position 6 OFF to label first line only
label first: Slave #1 abc
label all: Slave #1 abc
def
Slave #1 def
