Use the force command to turn the local I/O outputs either on or off. This
function can only be executed once per command. Use one of the following
commands:
> F,On,1 [CR] Forces output(s) on.
> F,On,0 [CR] Forces output(s) off.
Where n is the output being forced on or off, outputs 1 through 14.
n = 1 to 14 (individual outputs, can be nonconsecutive)
X – Y (range of outputs X through Y)
* (all of the outputs)
For example:
> F,O*,1 [CR] This example will force all outputs on.
Another example:
> F,O3–9,0 [CR] This example forces outputs 3 through 9 off.
For example:
> F,O4–6,1 [CR] Forces outputs 4–6 on.
> F,O8,1 [CR] Forces output 8 on.
>F,O1–4,0 [CR] Forces ouputs 1–4 off.
Notice that output #4 was forced on and then forced off. The force off takes
precedence over the force on.
After executing a command, the Color CVIM module will return: [CR][LF].
If you do not have the proper command structure the Color CVIM module
will return: ?[CR][LF]. The outputs will remain in their forced states until a
Deactivate Forces command is sent.
