A
1 controller > macro: RS232
RS232 Commands
You can send RS232 commands through the
RS232 output
or
RS232 input
port.
You can assign any sequence of commands
using letters or ASCII codes.
Letters are entered using the AV32R DP remote
control’s number keys. Use
shift
to toggle
between lower and upper case.
Press
record
to enter an ASCII code directly. Use
eject
to remove it.
In our example we wanted to enter
vp410 ‘comma’ on ‘Carriage Return’
hence we used the ASCII code for comma = <044>
and Carriage Return = <013>
The TMA1 Controller allows you to set the
Character Delay
, i.e. the time between sending
individual codes and the
Delay
before the next macro command is executed.
Many products need at least 10ms
Character Delay
. If a product responds with an RS232
string then you should increase the
Delay
as otherwise the next macro command will be
transmitted at the same time the response is sent.
Let’s have a closer look at the command types you can assign to a macro:
