SEND

Sends an ASCII message to a COM port

Platform:

OEM719, OEM729, OEM7500, OEM7600, OEM7700, OEM7720, PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700, SMART7, SMART2

This command is used to send ASCII printable data from any of the COM or USB ports to a specified communications port. This is a one time command, therefore the data message must be preceded by the SEND command and followed by <CR> each time data is sent. If the data string contains delimiters (that is, spaces, commas, tabs and so on), the entire string must be contained within double quotation marks. Carriage return and line feed characters (for example, 0x0D, 0x0A) are appended to the sent ASCII data.

Message ID: 177

Abbreviated ASCII Syntax:

SEND [port] data

ASCII Example

SEND com1 “log com1 rtcaobs ontime 5”

Scenario: Assume you are operating receivers as base and rover stations. It could also be assumed that the base station is unattended but operational and you wish to control it from the rover station. From the rover station, you could establish the data link and command the base station receiver to send differential corrections.

Field	Field Type	ASCII Value	Binary Value	Description	Format	Binary Bytes	Binary Offset
1	Command header	-	-	SEND header This field contains the command name for abbreviated ASCII or the message header for ASCII (see page 1) or Binary (see page 1).	-	H	0
2	port	See Table: Detailed Port Identifier		Output port (default=THISPORT)	Enum	4	H
3	message	Max 100 character string (99 typed visible chars and a null char added by the firmware automatically)		ASCII data to send	String [max 100]	Variable1 In the binary case, each string field needs to be NULL terminated and additional bytes of padding added to maintain 4-byte alignment, up to the maximum defined by the string size. The next defined field starts immediately at the next 4-byte alignment following the NULL.	H+4
