NXC-IRS4 Send_Commands (Cont.)
PTOF Set the time duration between power pulses in .10-second increments.
This time increment is stored in permanent memory. This command also sets the delay between
pulses generated by the 'PON' or 'POF' send commands in tenths of seconds. It also sets the delay
required after a power ON command before a new IR function can be generated. This gives the
device time to power up and get ready for future IR commands. It also sets the delay required after a
power ON command before a new IR function can be generated. This gives the device time to power
up and get ready for future IR commands.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PTOF',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 15 (1.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PTOF',15"
Sets the time between power pulses to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.
PTON Set the time duration between power pulses in .10-second increments.
This time increment is stored in permanent memory. This command also sets the pulse length for
each pulse generated by the 'PON' or 'POF' send commands in tenths of seconds.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'PTON',<time>"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Given in 1/10ths of a second. Default is 5 (0.5 seconds).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'PTON',15"
Sets the duration of the power pulse to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.
SET INPUT LINK Sets an IR device to link to an input channel for use with 'PON' and 'POF' commands. The input
channel is used for power sensing (via a PCS). A channel of zero disables the link.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'SET INPUT LINK <channel>'"
Variable:
channel = 1 - 4. Setting the channel to 0 disables the link.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'SET INPUT LINK 1'"
Sets the IR_1 port link to I/O channel 1. The IR port uses the specified input as power status for
processing PON and POF commands.
SET IO LINK Link an IR or Serial port to a selected I/O channel for use with the 'DE', 'POD', 'PON', and 'POF'
commands. The I/O status is automatically reported on channel 255 on the IR port. The I/O channel
is used for power sensing (via a PCS or VSS). A channel of zero disables the I/O link.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'SET IO LINK <I/O number>'"
Variable:
I/O number = 1 - 4. Setting the I/O channel to 0 disables the I/O link.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'SET INPUT LINK 1'"
Sets the IR_1 port link to I/O channel 1. The IR port uses the specified input as power status for
processing PON and POF commands.
Note: This command is included for older programs only. The Input port is not an I/O. No output
functions are available.’SET IO LINK’ applies the same configuration as the ’SET INPUT LINK’
command.
