3 - 26Auxiliary Port Input CommunicationsF9 Search back for “xx” character from current cursor position, leaving cursorpointing to “xx” character. Syntax = F9xx (xx stands for the hex value for anASCII code, see Hex to ASCII Conversion chart, page 3-20.)E6 Search ahead for the first non “xx” character from the current cursor posi-tion, leaving cursor pointing to non “xx” character.Syntax = E6xx (xxstands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see Decimal to Hex to ASCIIConversion chart, page 3-20.)E7 Search back for the last instance of “xx” character from the current cursorposition, then increment cursor. Syntax = E7xx (xx stands for the hex valuefor an ASCII code, see Hex to ASCII Conversion chart, page 3-20.)Miscellaneous CommandsFB Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the cur-rent cursor position, as the cursor is advanced by other commands. Whenthe FC command is encountered, the suppress function is terminated. Thecursor is not moved by the FB command. Syntax = FBnnxxyy . .zz wherenn is a count of the number suppress characters in the list and xxyy .. zz isthe list of characters to be suppressed. (xx stands for the hex value for anASCII code, see Hex to ASCII Conversion chart, page 3-20.)FC Disable suppress filter and clear all suppressed characters. Syntax = FC.E4 Replaces up to 15 characters in the data string with user specified charac-ters. Replacement continues until the E5 command is encountered. Syntax= E4nnxx 1xx 2 yy1yy2 ...zz 1zz2 where nn is the total count of both charactersto be replaced plus replacement characters; xx1 defines characters to bereplaced and xx2 defines replacement characters, continuing through zz1and zz2.E5 Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5.FE Compare character in current cursor position to the character “xx.” If charac-ters are equal, increment cursor. If characters are not equal, no formatmatch. Syntax = FExx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, seeHex to ASCII Conversion chart, page 3-20.)EC Check to make sure there is a numeric character at the current cursor posi-tion. If character is not numeric, format is aborted. Syntax = EC.ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric character at the current cursorposition. If character is numeric, format is aborted. Syntax = ED.EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5). Syntax =EFnn where nn is a count of the number 5 ms delays, up to 9,999.
