The ASCII program files must be in ASCII text and delineated with a comma. 


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.


  • Each command should be on a separate line.  
  • The app expects either a CR/LF for end of line, or just a CR.
    • CR means Carriage Return, which is ASCII character 13.
    • LF means Linefeed, which is ASCII character 10.
    • Most text editors will append either a CR/LF or a CR at the end of each line automatically.
  • Each program can contain up to 999,999 lines.
  • Files can be created in a text editor of your choice, or created in a spreadsheet software and saved as a CSV (Comma Delimited) file. 
    • It is recommend that program files be created using Notepad or any simple ASCII-based text editor. Exporting from a spreadsheet software like Excel (even as a .csv file) may work, but may include some non-visible embedded characters. If creating the file in a spreadsheet software, please review the CSV file in an ASCII-based text editor before running it in the Nippon Pulse Terminal program.
