System Send_Commands

Command

Description

'CARON'

Turns the IR carrier On (default).

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'CARON'

'CAROFF'

Turns the IR carrier Off.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'CAROFF'

'CH',<TV Channel>

Generates IR digit pulses to select a television channel number.
Channels 1-99 pulse as two digits.

Syntax:

"'CH',<TV Channel>"

Variables:

TV Channel = 0 through 199

Channels 100 and greater, the one-hundredth digit pulses as 127. If
IR function 21 (enter) exists, it follows the IR digit pulses. ’CTON’ sets
the pulse length for each digit and ’CTOF’ sets the time between each
digit or any after-pulse.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,"'CH',25"

Sets the television connected to channel 25 on the AXB-TM5.

'CTOF',<Time>

Sets the single IR pulses off time between channel digits and IR
functions.

Syntax:

"'CTOF',<Time>"

Variables:

Time = 0 through 255 in tenths of a second

Time is stored in permanent memory. System default is 5 (.5 second).
This is the time between digits, or pulses, that are associated with an
SP command.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,"'CTOF',10"

Sets the off-time pulse time (delay) to 1 second for the AXB-TM5.

'?CTOF'

Sends the current off-time pulse string ’CTOF,<Time>’ to the Control
system. The <Time> value is returned in .10 second increments.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'?CTOF'

Sends the current off-time pulse string from the AXB-TM5 to the
Control system in the ’CTOF <Time>’ format.
