Button Commands (Cont.)
^BIM
Set the input mask for the specified address.
• Syntax:
"'^BIM-<vt addr range>,<input mask>'"
• Variables:
variable text address range = 1 - 4000.
input mask = Refer to the Text Area Input Masking table on page 110 for character types.
• Example:
SEND_COMMAND Panel,"'^BIM-500,AAAAAAAAAA'"
Sets the input mask to ten ’A’ characters, that are required, to either a letter or digit
(entry is required).
^BLN
Set the number of lines removed equally from the top and bottom of a composite video signal.
The maximum number of lines to remove is 240. A value of 0 will display the incoming video signal unaffected. This
command is used to scale non 4x3 video images into non 4x3 video buttons.
• Syntax:
"'^BLN-<vt addr range>,<button states range>,<number of lines>'"
• Variables:
variable text address range = 1 - 4000.
button states range = 1 - 256 for multi-state buttons (0 = All states, for General buttons 1 = Off state and 2 = On state).

• Example:
SEND_COMMAND Panel,"'^BLN-500,55'"
Equally removes 55 lines from the top and 55 lines from the bottom of the video button.

Copy attributes of the source button to all the destination buttons. Note that the source is a single button state. Each state
must be copied as a separate command. The <codes> section represents what attributes will be copied. All codes are 2
char pairs that can be separated by comma, space, percent or just ran together.
• Syntax:
"'^BMC-<vt addr range>,<button states range>,<source port>,<source address>,<source state>,
<codes>'"
• Variables:
variable text address range = 1 - 4000.
button states range = 1 - 256 for multi-state buttons (0 = All states, for General buttons 1 = Off state and 2 = On state).
