Pro-Link also has the capability to monitor the serial port for incoming text messages. When a text message is received, Pro-Link searches through all 16 messages for a matching message. If one is found, the Program Command (macro) corresponding to the matching message is activated.

When receiving an ASCII message that is over 15 characters, OmniLT only processes the last 15 characters of the message.

Pro-Link determines that a message has been received when:

One or more characters have been received followed by 100 ms of silence

One or more characters followed by a carriage return character are received

One or more characters followed by a line feed character are received

It is not necessary to enter the terminating carriage return or line feed character as part of the message name.
