5.
Repeat
Steps 3-4
for all
IR commands
to be associated to this
Command String
. A maximum of
40 IR
Commands
may be associated with each string.
6.
Repeat
Steps 2-5
for all required
ASCII Strings,
up to 128 total.
NOTE:
It is recommended to write down the ASCII command string and a brief description of its corresponding
MACRO function. Each ASCII String will need to be entered into the controlling PC/device as it appears
opposite the COMMAND Number. (i.e. to trigger ‘Command 000’ you will need to issue
!000MC+
as the ASCII
command string from the controlling PC/device.)
Testing Commands in the RS2322 Input Translator
Commands associated with the ASCII Command strings in the RS232 Input Translator should be tested prior to
downloading to the SPLCD. To test commands, the PC running Universal Dragon must be connected to the
SPLCD front panel Com Port or USB Port and emitters must be connected to the SPLCD IR Bus (
Figure 8,
Page 17
).
1.
In the Universal Dragon
Menu Bar
, click
Test Mode
so it is highlighted
dark blue
.
2.
In the
System Window,
select an
ASCII Command String
with associated
IR codes
to be tested. (i.e.
Command MC000+). The
command string
should now be highlighted
dark blue
.
3.
The
IR Commands
listed under the
Macro Command List
for that selected
ASCII Command
should now
be executed in order of appearance out of the
IR Bus
on the
SPLCD Rear Panel
.
4.
Verify that all components/devices have responded to the Macro Sequence as designed.
NOTE:
RS232 commands may also be placed under the RS232 trigger macro to go back to the issuing RS232
device. For testing RS232 commands placed under this macro, the device needs to be connected to the
DB9
RS232 Port
of the
RS422232 Converter
as shown in
Figure 11
.
SENSE TRIGGER MACROS
The
Status Terminal
located on the rear of the SPLCD (
Figure 3 - Item 19c
) may also be utilized to trigger a
Macro Sequence (IR and/or RS232). Two macros can be triggered when the incoming
Status Voltage
is either
High
(5-30V DC) or
Low
(0V DC). This is very useful for numerous applications such as a doorbell trigger circuit
to mute a particular zone, set a preferred lighting scene when a component is turned on or turn off all lights and
A/V equipment when an alarm system is activated.
