## Read Job Example

To receive information about the job named 85Test.jobx saved on the In-Sight vision system, issue the following command: RJ85

After issuing the Read Job command, the first line in the Telnet window output is the status code (1), followed by the job name (85Test.jobx) and size in bytes (1900), then the job data in ASCII hexadecimal format. Finally, the four-byte ASCII hexadecimal checksum is displayed on the last line (48A3).

Note: The size reported by the RJ command will be twice the number of bytes of the actual .JOBX file size stored on the In-Sight vision system, due to the ASCII hexadecimal encoding of the data.
