String Tab

The String Tab enables you to create up to eight command strings that allow Converge/Converge Pro units to control external devices such as lighting, projectors, and room dividers. Command strings are written using the syntax of the external device being controlled. Converge/Converge Pro devices pass command strings to external devices through the RS-232 port.

Accessing the String Tab

To create command strings, press the String tab on the Tab Bar in Console.

You can create up to eight serial command strings (limit 80 characters each) on the String screen. The following sections explain how to create and run command strings.

Command String Special Characters

The following character combinations provide basic functionality in Command String syntax:

•\a = alert

•\b = backspace

•\f = form feed

•\n = new line

•\r = carriage return

•\t = horizontal tab

•\v = vertical tab

•\\ = backslash

Creating Command Strings

Type a command string in the Command 0 through Command 7 text boxes in the center pane of the Control Tab. Alternatively, you can copy an existing string from any source, then right-click in a Command entry box and select Paste from the shortcut menu that appears.
