Inserting a variable into NETCMD$ string?
« on: April 24, 2007, 12:29:44 PM »
I need to write a 'Write Counter Set Value" command to my T100 slave unit, the format as you know being:
NETCMD$ 3,"@02Wu01****",  where **** is the new counter's SV.
Can you please tell me how I can insert a variable into this string so that the contents of the variable inserts the new SV into the position of ****?

Thanks!

Assuming variable A contains the variable value:

NETCMD$ 3,"@02Wu01"+STR$(A,4)

will convert the value of A into 4 digit string and appended to the back of the first string.
