Depending on the module type, first enter the text signal(s) containing the received text. Some module types, such as TCP/IP text, only allow a source text. To do this, you offer the option of directly deriving additional text signals by splitting the source text into individual text signals and, if necessary, converting them into other data types.
With other modular types, such as some Xplorer modules, several text signals can be received. However, you also need a Text splitter module with the source text signal as the reference signal to split the text and generate text signals for further use.
The configuration steps are described in the following chapters for each module type.
