Quick Client - Escape Characters

Ignition
1

I’m trying to write escape characters to a tag in the quick client (\u002 and \u003) but I believe they are being sent as the actual string characters to the device. Is there a way to send escape characters? The tag is string type to the TCP driver.

My goal is to send the string “[STX]H0[ETX]” with “\u002H0\u003” but the receiving socket is showing that as a complete string without the special characters.

You’ll have to do this in a script instead.

Will do. Thank you for the quick response.

I think in python the string will look like "\x02H\x03".
