Serial Control

This section will assist with showing you how to update both the IS-SPX Player and an existing Inspired Signage XPress project to include serial control through the XPress project.

Serial Control From Within an Existing Inspired Signage Project

For this project, you will create an example of serial control through an existing XPress project. In this case, control is through the XPress project and not via NetLinx through the IS-SPX Player. This includes creation of the protocol file and using an LG TV to implement. The intent is to control:

Power off at a given time (#1) Power on at a given time (#2)

Gathering Display Serial Protocol Commands

First, find the appropriate monitor’s or display’s serial protocol commands. These will be stored within an IS-SPX Player protocol file using the Serial Protocol File Editor tool (FIG. 115). This tool is available at www.amx.com

FIG. 115 Serial Protocol File Editor

For instance, the Serial Protocol commands below are for an LG TV, model 32LE5300.

While creating a variable list through the Serial Protocol File Editor, do NOT leave the page for any reason until you save your information. If you do so, all previously entered information will be lost.
