NetLinx Programming of DXLink Transmitters and Receivers
92
Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Serial SEND_COMMANDs
On the DXLink Modules, 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 nine 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>'"
Variable:
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>'"
Variable:
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 97).
ESCSEQON
Enables SEND_STRING
escape sequences
Enables SEND_STRING escape sequences (see the “SEND_STRING Escape
Sequences” section on page 97).
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>
