AXB-TMC/TMX+ Television Managers
System Send_Commands
In the table below, system Send_Commands are stored in the Axcess Central Controller and direct
the AXB-TMC/TMX+ to perform various operations.
System Send_Commands
CARON
Turns the IR carrier on
(default).
Syntax:
'CARON'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'CARON'
Turns the IR carrier on (default).
CAROFF
Turns the IR carrier off.
Syntax:
'CAROFF'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'CAROFF'
Turns the IR carrier off.
CH
Selects television channel
number.
Syntax:
"'CH',<TV Channel>"
Generates IR digit pulses to select a television channel number. Channels 1-99
pulse as two digits. 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-TMC/TMX+.
CTOF
Sets the single IR pulse off
time.
Syntax:
"'CTOF',<Time>"
Sets the single IR pulses off time between channel digits and IR functions.
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.
The <Time> value is returned in 10 second increments.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,"'CTOF',10"
Sets the off-time pulse time (delay) to 1 second for the AXB-TMX+.
?CTOF
Sends the current off-time
pulse string CTOF,<Time> to
the Central Controller.
Syntax:
'?CTOF'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'?CTOF'
Sends the current off-time pulse string from the AXB-TMC/TMX+ to the Central
Controller in the CTOF <Time> format.
All ? (request) Send_ Commands respond with strings to the
Central Controller. If an RS-232 device connected to the AXB-TMC/TMX+ is
also sending strings to the Central Controller, the Axcess software program
must be written to accommodate the mixing of data between the device and
the AXB-TMC/TMX+ response strings in the buffer.
