Receive Settings

param

CR/LF

Use this field to specify the line feed character(s).

If you select Auto, the DNC will try to auto-detect the CR/LF combination used. If the remote machine does not use any of the standard combinations of ASCII 13 and ASCII 10, you must enter the appropriate CR/LF combination manually.

The normal combination is ASCII 13 followed by ASCII 10. ASCII 13 and ASCII 10 have no character representation, so they must be entered as \13 and \10 respectively.

param

Omit lines containing

Excludes lines containing one or more selected characters. The consequence of entering anything here is that any line containing one of these characters or strings will be discarded when received.

param

Remove characters

Selected characters will automatically be removed from the received stream. You can select None, ASCII 0 or All below ASCII 32 from the drop-down list if one of those is appropriate.

param

Omit empty lines

Check this field if empty lines should not be saved.

param

Start trigger

Start triggers are characters indicating that CIMCO Edit v7 should start saving incoming data. If no start trigger is used and the field therefore is left empty, CIMCO Edit will start saving at the beginning of the file.

The start trigger is the first sequence of characters received.

param

End trigger

End triggers are characters indicating that CIMCO Edit v7 should stop saving incoming data. If no end trigger is used and the field therefore is left empty, CIMCO Edit v7 will continue to save until the end of the file, where a timeout occurs.

The end trigger is the last sequence of characters received.

param

Receive timeout in seconds

Indicates the time delay after the last character has been received from the remote machine, until the computer concludes that the receiving operation is finished. If no end trigger is specified, you should specify a value here, or you will have to stop the receive process manually from the receive status dialog.

Advanced Receive Settings

param

Send XOn

When this field is checked, the DNC will send an XOn character when it is ready to receive data.

param

Send at start of reception

Specify a string that should be sent to the CNC when a receive operation is started.

When entering characters in one of the character entry fields, the characters can be entered in two ways: You can enter the characters themselves, like $* to get ASCII character 36 followed by ASCII 42, or you can enter the ASCII values of the characters like \36\42.
