Text Command Tools
The following formats allow you to enter command strings with text that
provide special features. These formats work in Serial and Ethernet commands.
Š () entering text in () allows the command to be edited in the VK6000.
Example : (A1 A9) (A8 B6) – this command string will provide two
editable text boxes from the VK6000 in the Button Action - Commands list
which allow you to change the command string:
Š
=
using the equals sign before a text command allows you to type in
words which will show up in a drop-down menu to describe the command,
rather than show the text command itself.
Example : [Power On=0A,Power Off=0B,Standby Mode=0C] – this
command string will provide a drop-down menu with three choices using
the text before the equal signs to describe each command – from the
VK6000 in the
Button Action - Commands list:
Š
““
quotation marks allow three symbols (, = @) to be added to a
command that uses the equal sign as described in the example above.
Three symbols not allowed within the quotation marks include (“” () []).
Quotation marks can be used to the left of
=
in a HEX command; on either
side of
=
in an ASCII command; and anywhere in an Ethernet command.
HEX Example : [“Power=On”=0A,”POWER=Off”=0B]
ASCII Example: [“Power=On”=pwn,”POWER=Off”=pwf]
In the HEX example, “Power=On” allows the equal sign to be inserted
before =0A . If the quotes are removed, the command Power=On=0A
would fail as an Invalid String .
