Message Delimiter Type | Sets the method used to determine how much or what data length constitutes a full message. Packet Based: Assumes that whatever arrives in one packet, regardless if length or content, is the message. Character Based: Content is appended to a message buffer until the given character or set of characters arrives, at which point the contents of the buffer are considered the message. Fixed Size Content is appended to a message buffer until some fixed number of bytes is received, at which point the contents of the buffer are considered the message. |
Message Delimiter | If the message delimiter type is Character Based, this will be the character or set of characters used to identify a message. If the type is Fixed Size, this will be the size used to identify a message. |
Field Count | The number of fields within a message must be fixed. This property dictates how many fields will be present in each message. When the number of fields received does not match the designated count, all nodes will receive quality BAD_CONFIG_ERROR. |
Field Delimiter | This is the character(s) that are used as field delimiters. For example, the message a|b|c|d with a field delimiter of "|" would be split into four fields: a, b, c, and d. The field count would have to be set at 4. |
