XB Command – Text Capture Buffers

Stores and processes text information for inclusion in custom reports.

What is it for?

Description

Allows storing and processing information from peripherals connected to communication ports, including internal cellular modem and GPS module. Ideal for generating custom reports with external data.

Each capture in a buffer activates the corresponding XB trigger.

Syntax

Parameters:

• index: Buffer 00 to 07 (2 digits)
• text: Up to 150 characters

Examples

Store client code

>SXB001234567890<              // Stores "1234567890" in buffer 00
>RXB001234567890;ID=037883;*5A<

Query loaded buffer

>QXB00<                        // Queries buffer 00 content
>RXB001234567890;ID=037883;*5A<

Multiple simultaneous buffers

>SXB00CLIENT_001<              // Buffer 00: client identification
>SXB01NORTH_ROUTE<             // Buffer 01: route name
>SXB02DRIVER_JOHN<             // Buffer 02: driver name

Advanced Configuration

For automatic captures from serial ports, see CXXB Command.

Use Case: Code in Report

Integrate an identification code in position reports using XB buffers.

1. Load code in buffer

>SXB001234567890<              // Stores identification code

2. Define custom report with code

>SUC00 $RCD| #| QCQ,5,64| $\3B| QXB00,5,10<    // Includes XB00 buffer in report

UC report structure:

• QCQ,5,64: Position query (LAT/LON)
• $\3B: Separator ;
• QXB00,5,10: Reads 10 characters from XB00 buffer

3. Query generated report

>QU0<                          // Generates and shows the report

Response:

>RCD00210918170359-2778100-064258570001517F000000000049D13010900001516;1234567890;ID=037883;*01<

Use Cases

Cargo identification

>SXB00CONTAINER_ABC123<        // Container number
>SXB01SEAL_456789<             // Seal number

Include in reports:

>SUC01 $CARGO| QXB00,5,20| $\3B| QXB01,5,15<

Driver data

>SXB02LICENSE_98765432<        // License number
>SXB03MORNING_SHIFT<           // Assigned shift

Route reference

>SXB04ROUTE_101_KM_45<         // Reference point

XB Triggers

Each buffer has its associated trigger:

Example: Generate report when capturing text:

>SRL05E;TRG=XB00+;ACC={GBR00L}<    // On XB00 capture → generate BR report
