10.4" Touch Panels
Button String Commands (Cont.)
$SP
Sends data out
through the serial
port of the source
panel to a destina-
tion panel.
Syntax:
"$SP"<data>""
Variables:
data = Serial string command
Examples:
$SP "CALIBRATE"
Sends the Calibrate command to another panel through the Serial Port.
$SP "$SC 1,"’@TXT’,1,’TEST’""
Uses the $SP command to send a Send Command ($SC ***) to another panel through the
Serial Port. This is an on-panel button string that is entered using on-screen keyboard.
$ST
Sets the idle time
to activate sleep
mode for a touch
panel/WavePack
in 1-minute incre-
ments.
When the touch panel’s input time matches the sleep time, the panel goes to sleep.
Syntax:
"$ST<sleep timeout>"
Variable:
sleep timeout = 1 (Off) - 120 (in minutes)
Example:
$ST 5
Sets the touch panel’s sleep time to 5 minutes.
$TO
Sends touch coor-
dinates out
through the pro-
gram port.
Syntax:
"$TO <touch output enabling via the program port>"
Variable:
touch output enabling = 0 (Input Touch Only), 1 (Input and Output Touch)
Example:
$TO 0
Sets the panel only to input touch.
WORKING?
Verifies the com-
munication
between touch
panels through
the use of the on-
panel editor.
Responding touch panels tell the sending touch panel to change its Main page to the color
white.
Syntax:
"WORKING?"
Example:
• 10.4" panel serial port is connected to TPI program port.
• 10.4" panel wants to verify communication between the TPI and itself.
• 10.4" panel issues "WORKING?" to its serial port. It will be sent as ’$SP "WORKING?".
• TPI receives the command and responds to the 10.4" panel by telling it to set the Main
page background to white.
