Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports

The Repeat String feature enables the CVIM module to repeat a particular
string multiple times for the same event (see “Defining the Event” in this
chapter). This is accomplished through the use of an “index” number, which
is incremented through a range of values – you define this range using the
Repeat String menu.

In configuring the repeat range for a string, you set the Start, the End, and
the Increment values:
Start value
End value
Increment value
During operation in the run mode, when the event conditions are satisfied for
sending the string, the index is set to the Start value, then:
(1) If the End value is greater than or equal to the Start value, the string
is sent.
(2) The index is incremented (according to the Increment value).
The string is sent for each index value, until the index value exceeds the
End value.
For example, to repeat a string 5 times, you can set the Start value to 1, the
End value to 5, and the Increment to 1. The index will increment through
values 1 to 5. Or, you can set the Start value to 6, the End value to 10, and
set the Increment to 1, so the index will increment from 6–10, and so forth.
