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.
