Command

Description

'PTOF',<Time>

Sets the IR power-off pulse time after a power-on pulse in increments
of .10 seconds.

Syntax:

"'PTOF',<Time>"

Variables:

Time = 0 through 255

Time is stored in permanent memory. System default is 15 (1.5
seconds).

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,"'PTOF',15"

Sets the power-off pulse time after a power-on pulse to 1.5 seconds
for the AXB-TM5.

'?PTOF'

Sends the current IR power pulse off time string ’PTOF, <Time>’ to the
control system. Set the <Time> value in .10 second increments.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'?PTOF'

Sends the current IR power pulse off time from the AXB-TM5 to the
control system in the ’PTOF <Time>’ format.

'PTON',<Time>

Sets the IR power pulse on time in increments of .10 seconds. Time is
stored in permanent memory.

Syntax:

"'PTON',<Time>"

Variables:

Time = 0 through 255

System default is 5 (.5 second). ’PTON’ sets the pulse length for all
power pulses, regardless if the pulse is due to a ’PON’ or ’POF’
command.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,"'PTON',20"

Sets the IR power pulse on time (delay) to 2 seconds for the
AXB-TM5.

'?PTON'

Sends the current IR power pulse on time string ’PTON, <Time>’ to
the control system. Set the <Time> value in .10 second increments.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'?PTON'

Sends the current IR power pulse on time from the AXB-TM5 to the
control system in the ’PTON <Time>’ format.

The PTOF time affects how quickly the AXB-TM5 evaluates the power state of a TV. If
a TV toggles between on and off when changing the power state, then the ’PTOF’
time should be extended. ’PTOF’ sets the time in-between each power pulse when
the AXB-TM5 is attempting to change the TV's power state (regardless if pulse if On
or Off).
