Serial Send_Commands - AMX DXLink Multi-Format SMF-D Instruction Manual

Serial SEND_COMMANDs

On the DXLink Fiber units, 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
GET BAUD
Get the RS-232 (serial) port's current
communication parameters.
Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Fiber Transmitters and Receivers, Duplex
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 9 data bits
and one stop bit.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARD-<time>'"
Valid responses:
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>'"
Valid responses:
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 85).
Enables SEND_STRING escape sequences (see the "SEND_STRING Escape
Sequences" section on page 85).
The port sends the parameters to the device that requested the information.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET BAUD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRXRS232,"'GET BAUD'"
The port responds with:
Port <port #>,<baud>,<parity>,<data>,<stop>
