Operating Instructions

5.0 COMMAND-SEND-MONITOR FOR TESTING COMMANDS

The Command Send Monitor button tests an RS-232 command before downloading that command to the DVD player or adding the command to a command stack.

Although a command can be tested with this function, it is separate from the Command Stack/Blackboard (CS/BB) feature within the DataMan2 program. Commands can be built then tested for accuracy and existing files may be examined for errors or incorrect command placement, however, the Command Sent Monitor tool is not designed for building command stacks.

Clicking on the Command Send Monitor button causes the following window to appear.

The number list on the far left of the window marks a possible line item for a command. There is a maximum of 19 items in a single command. The number list corresponds to an action and the return status for a line item. Once a line item action tests successfully, a capital R appears on the same line in the Return field. If the action fails, an error message appears in the Return field. Click on the Help icon () for assistance with errors.

The three primary functions of this window are to work with existing commands (Command File), to build a command using stand RS-232 coding (Command List), or to test a command or series of commands (Command Action). Each of these functions is discussed in the following sections.
