AMX NI-3101-SIG manual IR/Serial SendCommands, Caroff, Caron

Programming

IR/Serial Send_Commands

The following IR and IR/Serial Send_Commands generate control signals for external equipment. In these examples: <DEV> = device.

IR/Serial Send_Commands

Command	Description
CAROFF	Syntax:
Disable the IR carrier signal	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CAROFF'"
until a 'CARON' command is	Example:
received.
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CAROFF'"
	Stops transmitting IR carrier signals to the IR_1 port.
CARON	Syntax:
Enable the IR carrier signals	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CARON'"
(default).	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CARON'"
	Starts transmitting IR carrier signals to the IR_1 port.
CH	All channels below 100 are transmitted as two digits. If the IR code for ENTER
Send IR pulses for the	(function #21) is loaded, an Enter will follow the number. If the channel is
	greater than or equal to (>=) 100, then IR function 127 or 20 (whichever exists)
selected channel.
	is generated for the one hundred digit. Uses 'CTON' and 'CTOF' times for pulse
	times.
	Syntax:
	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CH',<channel number>"
	Variable:
	channel number = 0 - 199.
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CH',18"
	This device performs the following:
	• Transmits IR signals for 1 (IR code 11). The transmit time is set with the
	CTON command.
	• Waits until the time set with the CTOF command elapses.
	• Transmits IR signals for 8 (IR code 18).
	• Waits for the time set with the CTOF command elapses.
	• If the IR code for Enter (IR code 21) is programmed, the Controller performs
	steps 5 and 6.
	• Transmits IR signals for Enter (IR code 21).
	• Waits for the time set with the CTOF command elapses.
CP	You can set the Pulse and Wait times with the 'CTON' and 'CTOF' commands.
Halt and Clear all active or	Syntax:
buffered IR commands, and	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CP',<code>"
then send a single IR pulse.
	Variable:
	code = IR port's channel value 0 - 252 (253 - 255 reserved).
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'CP',2"
	Clears the active/buffered commands and pulses IR_1 port's channel 2.
