095: Recall Whether Output Line is On or Off
This command allows you to read the output lines. This command will tell you whether the output
line is turned on or off.
<095> l Check a single output line
<095> l..l Check multiple output lines
Parameters:
- 095 is the default command name.
- L is the output line number (1..4)
Notes:
To provide a customized message when an output line is turned on or off, call Commands
093 or 094 from a macro that also sends a CW message. There is no easy way to get a customized
message to recall whether a line is on or off at the current time without turning it on or off again. If
you really need custom recall messages and you are very familiar with macro programming, read the
following, otherwise don't bother. The idea is to use a macro to call the output line on and off
commands. In that on/off macro, call the ‘program-single-command-macro’ command and program
another macro (we will call it the recall macro) to send the appropriate recall message. That recall
macro could then be executed to find out whether the output line was turned on or off last. In other
words, we would use the on and off macros to program the recall macro. Whichever on/off macro
was executed last would have programmed the recall macro last, making it contain the appropriate
message. If you didn't understand all of this, don't worry about it, use this command, and wait for a
later software version that will make all of this easier.
