Literal formatting function L(item {,item …})
The Literal formatting function is a catch-all that lets you send any arbitrary character to the display. Its arguments consist of one or more items, separated by commas.
Items can be:
| Form | Description | Example |
"string" | Any text string in quotes | #HMI Print(L("Hello World") ;Legal, but probably pointless |
Number | An 8-bit number (0 to 255) in SPLat format. This defines the ASCII character that will be sent to the display. | #HMI Print(L('0D, '0A)) ;Send CR/LF to the display |
You cannot have other formatting functions inside L()
Note that while the syntax is case-insensitive, it makes sense to use upper case L to avoid confusion with a numeral 1.
