Shorthand variable text
commands
Note
Shorthand commands were
created by AMX designers to
streamline receiving,
processing, and transmitting
Central Controller data. The
short-hand commands
operate Control Equipment
just like the standard
Send_Commands still used in
a wide variety of AMX
products, but they are simply
smaller byte-for-byte, and
thus processed more
efficiently.
