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.
