Send_Commands

Use the Send_Commands listed in the following table to program the Axcess Central Controller and

television controller.

The device number range for the television controller is 1 through 255.
Refer to the Axcess Programming Language instruction manual for additional programming

information.

Send_Commands

CARON Enables an IR carrier signal after receiving a 'CARON' command.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 1,'CARON'
Enables the carrier signal for device 1.
CAROFF Disables an IR carrier signal from responding until a 'CARON' command
is received. Use this command to control television controllers via serial
communication.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 255,'CAROFF'
Disables the carrier signal for device 255.
'CH',<Channel> Generates IR digit pulses to select a television channel number. Chan-
nels 1-99 pulse as two digits. Channels 100 and greater, the one-hun-
dredth digit pulses as 127. If IR function 21 (enter) exists, it follows the
IR digit pulses.
Variable:
<Channel> = 0-199
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 2,"'CH',25"
Sets the television connected to device 2 to channel 25.
'CTOF',<Time> Sets the single IR pulses off time between channel digits and IR func-
tions. Time is stored in permanent memory. The channel digit off time is
set with the 'CH' command and the single pulse off time is set with the
'SP' command.
Variable:
<Time> = 0-255; default = 5 (0.5 seconds)
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 3,"'CTOF',10"
Sets the off-time pulse time (delay) to 1 second for device 3.
?CTOF Sends the current off-time pulse string "'CTOF',<Time>" to the master.
Set the <Time> value in .10 second increments.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 35,'?CTOF'
Sends the current off-time pulse string from device 35 to the master.
'CTON',<Time> Sets the IR pulse (single) on-time between channel digits and IR func-
tions. Time is stored in permanent memory. System default is 5 (.5 sec-
ond). The channel digit on time is set with the 'CH' command and the
single pulse on time is set with the 'SP' command.
Variable:
<Time> = 0-255; default = 5 (0.5 seconds)
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 92,"'CTON',20"
Sets the on-time pulse (delay) to 2 seconds for device 92.
