Comment Code

Comment Code

Comment Codes are made by the start comment character and the two or three letter code without any space in between. As in: '(TL '  And a space after.

The 'Codes' checkbox must be checked for these codes to operate. See: Configuration, Plotting .

Multiple Comment Codes

You are able to have multiple comment codes in one comment separated by semi-colons ';'. In which case the rule that the code must be next to the comment char doesn't apply.

This feature allows the placing of comment codes somewhere other than the begining of the line. For instance:

(THIS IS A COMMENT  ;TM .5)

This multiple comment semi-colon character can be replaced by a different character if your control does not support the semi-colon. In the machine INI file, the [INPLOT] section add

MultiCommentChar=&

or equal to whatever character you want to use.
