This command is like the SEND command except it is used to send non-printable characters expressed as hexadecimal pairs. Carriage return and line feed characters (for example, 0x0D, 0x0A) will not be appended to the sent data and so must be explicitly added to the data if needed.

Message ID: 178

Abbreviated ASCII Syntax:

SENDHEX [port] length data

Field	Field Type	ASCII Value	Binary Value	Description	Format	Binary Bytes	Binary Offset
1	Command header	-	-	SENDHEX 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	length	0 - 700		Number of hex pairs	Ulong	4	H+4
4	message	limited to a 700 maximum string (1400 pair hex). Even number of ASCII characters from set of 0-9, A-F. No spaces are allowed between pairs of characters		Data	String [max 700]	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+8
