Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
Serial SEND_COMMANDs
On the DXLink Fiber units, SERIAL SEND_COMMANDs are sent to
Port 1.
Serial SEND_COMMANDs (Transmitters and Receivers)
Command
Description
B9MOFF
Set the port’s communication
parameters for stop and data bits
according to the software settings on
the RS-232 port.
This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
• Disables 9-bit in 232 mode.
• By default, this returns the Communication settings on the serial port to the
last programmed parameters.
Syntax:
B9MOFF
Example:
SEND_COMMAND SOMEDEVICE_1,"'B9MOFF'"
Sets the port settings on SOMEDEVICE to match the port’s configuration
settings.
B9MON
Override and set the current
communication settings and
parameters on the RS-232 serial port
to 9 data bits with one stop bit.
This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MOFF' command.
• Enables 9-bit in 232 mode.
Syntax:
B9MON
Example:
SEND_COMMAND SOMEDEVICE_1,"'B9MON'"
Resets the SOMEDEVICE port’s communication parameters to 9 data bits
and one stop bit.
CHARD
Set the delay time between all
transmitted characters to the value
specified (in 100 microsecond
increments).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARD-<time>'"
Valid responses:
time = 0 to 10000 (1 second)
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRXRS232,"'CHARD-10'"
Sets a 1-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
CHARDM
Set the delay time between all
transmitted characters to the value
specified (in 1 millisecond
increments).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARDM-<time>'"
Valid responses:
time = 0 to 1000 (1 second)
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRXRS232,"'CHARDM-10'"
Sets a 10-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
ESCSEQOFF
Disables SEND_STRING escape
sequences
Disables SEND_STRING escape sequences (see the “SEND_STRING Escape
Sequences” section on page 96).
ESCSEQON
Enables SEND_STRING escape
sequences
Enables SEND_STRING escape sequences (see the “SEND_STRING Escape
Sequences” section on page 96).
GET BAUD
Get the RS-232 (serial) port's current
communication parameters.
The port sends the parameters to the device that requested the information.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'GET BAUD'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRXRS232,"'GET BAUD'"
The port responds with:
Port <port #>,<baud>,<parity>,<data>,<stop>
