7 Application Instructions API 50-99 K13: Ramp value for multiple points (32-bit) Please refer to parameter K12 for more information about the operands. The source device and the destination device are represented by 32-bit values. K14: Floating-point value for multiple points Please refer to parameter K12 for more information about the operands. The source device and the destination device are represented by 32-bit floating-point values. K16: String combination Explanations:
The system searches for the location of ETX (value 0x00) of the destination data string (lower 8 bits), then copies the data string starting of the source register (lower 8 bits) to the end of the destination data string. The source data string will be copied in byte order until the ETX (value 0x00) is reached. Points to note: the combination, the location indicated by n will be the ETX and filled with 0x00. The operand n sets the max data length after the string combination (max 256). If the ETX is not reached after The combination will be performed in the following rule:
S+0 S+0 Hi-byte Lo-byte Hi-byte Lo-byte S+1 S+1 Hi-byte Lo-byte Hi-byte Lo-byte S+2 S+2 D+0 D+0 S+3 S+3 D+1 D+2 D+1 D+2 S+4 S+4 D+3 D+3 Hi-byte Lo-byte Hi-byte Lo-byte D+4 D+4 D+0 D+0 D+5 D+5 D+1 D+1 D+6 D+6 D+2 D+2 D+7 D+7 D+3 D+3 K17: String capture Explanations: The system copies the source data string (lower 8 bits) with the data length specified by operand n to the destination registers, where the n+1 register will be filled with 0x00. If value 0x00 is reached before the specified capture length n is completed, the capture will also be ended.
