ASCII programs
The Nippon Pulse Terminal program has the ability to run a list of ASCII commands and compare the reply to an expected reply. This feature supports all ASCII commands for the connected controller, as well as a few additional commands.
This allows for easy testing of command sequences along with the replies that are expected.
- If the actual reply matches the expected reply, the command passes.
- If the actual reply does not match the expected reply, the command fails.
- The actual reply must match exactly (including case) the expected result in order to pass. Anything else is a fail.
- Numeric replies have additional options for compare. See Reply compare
Passed commands are displayed normally.
Failed commands are marked with an exclamation point, and the received and expected results are shown.
See Terminal Display area for more information and examples of the pass displays.
ASCII programs are stored in the […/AppPrograms] sub folder.
The ASCII programs are designed to work with ASCII character languages. Please note that while it is possible to use Unicode character languages in the comments, it is not recommended as it has not been fully tested, and may cause unexpected results in the code execution.
