mburnett Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 When I use SENDA"M105" in a program on a UMAC, it seems to always send STX and then the M105 characters. I can't locate anything about this in the docs. Would you please point me in the right direction? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtwilson Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 With I64 set to 1, any "unsolicited" strings from the Turbo PMAC -- i.e. those resulting from an internal SEND or CMD statement rather than a host command -- are preceded by this character (ASCII 02, , STX). The purpose of this is to allow the host program to distinguish this from a command response. Most users prefer this setting, as it permits the host software to handle these easily and reliably.

mburnett Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 No way to shut it off? How are you to send serial data to a display, for example? Looks like you have to write a program that manually stuffs a buffer and then writes it. Looks painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You can set I64 to zero to stop this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
