Serial Send_Commands - AMX DXLink Instruction Manual

Serial SEND_COMMANDs

On the DXLink Modules, SERIAL SEND_COMMANDs are sent to Port 1.
Serial SEND_COMMANDs (Transmitters and Receivers)
Command
B9MOFF
Set the port's communication
parameters for stop and data
bits according to the
software settings on the
RS-232 port.
B9MON
Override and set the current
communication settings and
parameters on the RS-232
serial port to 9 data bits with
one stop bit.
CHARD
Set the delay time between
all transmitted characters to
the value specified
(in 100 microsecond
increments).
CHARDM
Set the delay time between
all transmitted characters
to the value specified (in
1 millisecond increments).
ESCSEQOFF
Disables SEND_STRING
escape sequences
ESCSEQON
Enables SEND_STRING
escape sequences

Description
This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
• Disables 9-bit in 232 mode.
• By default, this returns the Communication settings on the serial port to the
last programmed parameters.
Syntax:
B9MOFF
Example:
SEND_COMMAND SOMEDEVICE_1,"'B9MOFF'"
Sets the port settings on SOMEDEVICE to match the port's configuration
settings.
This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MOFF' command.
• Enables 9-bit in 232 mode.
Syntax:
B9MON
Example:
SEND_COMMAND SOMEDEVICE_1,"'B9MON'"
Resets the SOMEDEVICE port's communication parameters to nine data bits
and one stop bit.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARD-<time>'"
Variable:
time = 0 to 10000 (1 second)
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRXRS232,"'CHARD-10'"
Sets a 1-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARDM-<time>'"
Variable:
time = 0 to 1000 (1 second)
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRXRS232,"'CHARDM-10'"
Sets a 10-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
Disables SEND_STRING escape sequences (see the "SEND_STRING Escape
Sequences" section on page 99).
Enables SEND_STRING escape sequences (see the "SEND_STRING Escape
Sequences" section on page 99).
