Send_String Escape Sequences for RS-232/422/485 Ports
The table below lists the Send_String escape sequences for the RS-232/422/485 ports.
Send_Commands for IR/Serial/Data Ports
The IR/Serial/Data Send_Commands listed in the table below generate control data for external
device, and also configure the IR/Serial/Data ports.
Send_String Escape Sequences for RS-232/422/485 Ports
"27,17,<1-255>" Sends a break character for the specified length of time.
Variables:
1 - 255 = time in 100 microsecond increments
"27,18,1" Sets the ninth data bit to 1 for all subsequent characters transmitted. Use this escape
sequence with the ’B9MON’ command.
"27,18,0" Clears the ninth data bit to 0 for all subsequent characters transmitted. Use this escape
sequence with the ’B9MON’ command.
"27,19,<1-255>" Inserts delay time before the next character transmits.
Variables:
1 - 255 = time in 1 microsecond increments.
"27,20,0" Sets RTS hardware handshake’s output high.
"27,20,1" Sets RTS hardware handshake’s output low.
Send_Commands for the IR/Serial/Data Ports
CAROFF
Disables carrier
from responding
until a CARON
command is
received.
This command overrides active software settings.
Syntax:
’CAROFF’
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'CAROFF'
Stops transmitting the IR carrier signal.
CARON
Enables the carrier
to respond accord-
ing to active soft-
ware settings.
Syntax:
’CARON’
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'CARON'
Starts transmitting the IR carrier signal.
