Command

Description

 

 

PTOF

This time increment is stored in permanent memory. This command also sets

Set the time duration

the delay between pulses generated by the 'PON' or 'POF' send commands in

tenths of seconds. It also sets the delay required after a power ON command

between power pulses in

before a new IR function can be generated. This gives the device time to power

.10-second increments.

up and get ready for future IR commands.

 

 

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PTOF',<time>"

 

Variable:

 

time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 15 (1.5 seconds).

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PTOF',15"

 

Sets the time between power pulses to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.

 

 

PTON

This time increment is stored in permanent memory. This command also sets

Set the time duration of the

the pulse length for each pulse generated by the 'PON' or 'POF' send

commands in tenths of seconds.

power pulses in

 

.10-second increments

Syntax:

 

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PTON',<time>"

 

Variable:

 

time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 5 (0.5 seconds).

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PTON',15"

 

Sets the duration of the power pulse to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.

 

 

SET BAUD

Only valid if the port is in Data Mode (see SET MODE command).

Set the IR port's DATA mode

Syntax:

communication parameters.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'SET BAUD

 

 

<baud>,<parity>,<data>,<stop>'"

 

Variables:

 

baud = baud rates are: 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, and 1200.

 

parity = N (none), O (odd), E (even), M (mark), S (space).

 

data = 7 or 8 data bits.

 

stop = 1 and 2 stop bits.

 

Note: AMX does not recommend using a cable longer than 10 feet

 

(3.05 meters) for the IR Ports.

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'SET BAUD 9600,N,8,1'"

 

Sets the IR_1 port's communication parameters to 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data

 

bits, and 1 stop bit.

 

 

SET IO LINK

The I/O status is automatically reported on channel 255 on the IR port. The I/O

Link an IR or Serial port to a

channel is used for power sensing (via a PCS or VSS). A channel of zero

disables the I/O link.

selected I/O channel for use

Syntax:

with the 'DE', 'POD', 'PON',

and 'POF' commands.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'SET IO LINK <I/O number>'"

 

 

Variable:

 

I/O number = 1 - 8. Setting the I/O channel to 0 disables the I/O link.

 

Example:

 

SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'SET IO LINK 1'"

 

Sets the IR_1 port link to I/O channel 1. The IR port uses the specified I/O input

 

as power status for processing 'PON' and 'POF' commands.
