Macros

Macros are enclosed in angle brackets (<>) and perform a variety of special functions, as follows:

• <cr>

  Inserts a carriage return.

• <lf>

  Inserts a line feed.

• <match> "string"

  Reports a match if the string enclosed in quotation marks is found in the device response. Each character in the string is matched according to upper and lower case. For example, <match> "Smith" matches Denise Smith and Jeff Smith, but not SMITH.

• <?>

  Inserts a wildcard character, for example, CO<?><?>2 matches COOL2 or COAT2, but not COOL3.

• <hXX>

  (XX are hexadecimal digits)

  Allows any hexadecimal character to appear in a string--including the zero byte, <h00>.

• <ignore>

  Ignores the rest of a response from the macro on.

• <diagnostics>

  Passes specific error information from a device to remote access, which displays the specific error to you. Otherwise, a nonspecific error message appears.
