representing the desired baud rate.
4) After 2.5 seconds, all 4 LEDs will be
extinguished.
5) The new baud rate is set.
SPECIAL COMMANDS
These commands allow special character strings to
be sent to external devices. The strings may be
used to issue commands to custom equipment
connected to the MultiTasker. Also included in this
section are commands to test the internal memory
and display all available RS-232 commands.
24. [TXR]
This command is used to send command strings
to the RS-232 bus through the MultiTasker.
Command Format: [TXRxyz]
xyz = text string ("abc","123",…)
Example:
Send the text string "HELLO" to the RS-232 bus.
The string will be ignored by the MultiTasker, but
not the unit receiving the command. To do this,
send the command [TXRHELLO] and the
following will be sent to the remaining devices
connected to the RS-232 bus:
HELLO
25. [TXM]
This command is used to send command strings
to the RS-232 bus through the MultiTasker, but
