Guys,

This is my RS232 9600 8n1 signal:

2008 10 03 15 53 56      0      0     -1 255 255   0   0   0   0   0 2119  -3  0   1   0   0   2912       6565     7  71  20   20  32  34  24
 1   -732    899 255 248  44  46
 2   5700  -1543 255 255  33  34
 3  -1167   1357 255 255  33  34
 4   -663    442 255 255  33  34
 5    256    266 255 255  32  33

Also my DT80 program:

BEGIN"SSdisp3"
DO{/n/c/u}
RA1SERIAL""
1SERIAL("%s[1$]\\013\\010",W) 1$
END

But the signal I received is receiving only 18 numbers in the first string instead of the full 31 numbers:

2008 10 03 15 53 56      0      0     -1 255 255   0   0   0   0   0 2119  -3  
 1   -732    899 255 248  44  46
 2   5700  -1543 255 255  33  34
 3  -1167   1357 255 255  33  34
 4   -663    442 255 255  33  34
 5    256    266 255 255  32  33

If I put P56=1 into the program like this:

BEGIN"SSdisp3"
DO{/n/c/u}
RA1SERIAL""
1SERIAL("%s[1$]\\013\\010",W) 1$
P56=1
END

This is the result i received for one whole input signal:

What went wrong? Advance thanks!

Good morning Orange,

The string variables n$ are a maximum 80 characters long. The string you are seeing is exactly 80 characters (Please refer to page 29 of the DT80 User manual).

Cheers,
Roger

If there any elegant way around this limitation while still using n$, or I must use CV only like this?

1SERIAL("%d[1CV] %d[2CV] %d[3CV] %d[4CV]....%d[31CV]")

Hi Orange,

Please refer to post: https://datatakerforum.com/index.php?u=/topic/715

Cheers,
Roger
