IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.)
Command
CTOF
Set the duration of the Off
time (no signal) between IR
pulses for channel and IR
function transmissions.
CTON
Set the total time of IR pulses
transmitted and is stored in
non-volatile memory.
GET BAUD
Get the IR port's current
DATA mode communication
parameters.
GET MODE
Poll the IR/Serial port's
configuration parameters and
report the active mode
settings to the device
requesting the information.
IROFF
Halt and Clear all active or
buffered IR commands being
output on the designated
port.

Description
Off time settings are stored in non-volatile memory. This command sets the
delay time between pulses generated by the 'CH' or 'XCH' send commands in
tenths of seconds.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CTOF',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 5 (0.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CTOF',10"
Sets the off time between each IR pulse to 1 second.
This command sets the pulse length for each pulse generated by the 'CH' or
'XCH' send commands in tenths of seconds.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CTON',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 5 (0.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CTON',20"
Sets the IR pulse duration to 2 seconds.
The port sends the parameters to the device that requested the information.
Only valid if the port is in Data Mode (see SET MODE command).
The port responds with:
<port #> <baud>,<parity>,<data bits>,<stop bits>
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET BAUD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET BAUD'"
System response example:
PORT 9 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
The port responds with: <port #> <mode>,<carrier>,<io link channel>.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET MODE'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'GET MODE"
The system could respond with:
PORT 4 IR,CARRIER,IO LINK 0
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'IROFF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'IROFF"
Immediately halts and clears all IR output signals on the IR_1 port.
