140 NI-3101-SIG Signature Series NetLinx Integrated Controller
IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.)
Command Description
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 - 8. Setting the I/O channel to 0 disables the I/O link.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'SET IO LINK 1'"
Sets the IR_1 port link to I/O channel 1. The IR port uses the specified I/O input
as power status for processing 'PON' and 'POF' commands.
SET MODE
Set the IR/Serial ports for IR
or Serial-controlled devices
connected to a CardFrame or
NetModule. Sets an IR port to either IR, Serial, or Data mode.
Note: IR DATA Mode works best when using both a lower baud rate and a
short cable length (< 10 feet).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, 'SET MODE <mode>'"
Variable:
mode = IR, SERIAL, or DATA.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1,"'SET MODE IR'"
Sets the IR_1 port to IR mode for IR control.
SP
Generate a single IR pulse. You can use the 'CTON' to set pulse lengths and the 'CTOF' for time Off
between pulses.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'SP',<code>"
Variable:
code = IR code value 1 - 252 (253-255 reserved).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'SP',25"
Pulses IR code 25 on IR_1 device.
XCH
Transmit the selected chan-
nel IR codes in the format/
pattern set by the 'XCHM'
send command. Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'XCH <channel>'"
Variable:
channel = 0 - 999.
Example:
For detailed usage examples, refer to the 'XCHM' command.
