Preset Commands (Cont.)

Command Description

SP

Store preset.

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’RP10S64’"

Recalls preset 10. If any are in positional mode, the current voltages for zoom, focus, and/or iris will be ramped to the preset voltages at the current speed. If any are in speed mode, the motor drive outputs for zoom and/or focus will move at half speed

(64). Pan/tilt outputs will move at half speed. Turns on channel 110.

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’RP10T100S64’"

Recalls preset 10. If any are in positional mode, voltage outputs for zoom, focus, and/ or iris will ramp to position in 10 seconds. If any are in speed mode, the motor drive outputs for zoom and/or focus will move at half speed (64). Pan/tilt outputs will use current speed. Turns on channel 110.

Syntax:

"’SP<preset>’"

Variables:

SP- preset = 1 - 255

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’SP1’"

Stores current values to Preset 1.

RS-232 commands

The following table lists the RS-232 commands.

RS-232 Commands

B9MON

Enables the special 9 data bits with 1 stop bit mode, and overrides the DIP switch settings for data, stop, and parity bits.

The baud rate is locked on at the current DIP switch setting upon issuance of this command.

Syntax:

"’B9MON’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’B9MON’"

Sets the special 9 bits with 1 stop bit mode, and overrides the DIP switch settings on the device.

B9MOFF

Sets data bits mode to normal with DIP switch setting (default).

Syntax:

"’B9MOFF’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’B9MOFF’"

Resets the data bits mode back to the DIP switch settings on the device.

CHARD

Sets the delay time between all transmitted characters to the device.

Syntax:

"’CHARD-<time>’"

Variables: time = 0 - 255 in 100 microsecond increments

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’CHARD-10’"

Sets 1 ms delay between all transmitted characters.

RS-232 Commands (Cont.)

CTSPSH

Sets the delay time between all transmitted characters to the device.

HSOFF

Disables hardware handshaking (default).

Syntax:

"’CTSPSH’"

If CTS is high, channel is On.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’CTSPSH’"

Enables pushes, releases, and status information on channel 255 for CTS hardware handshake input.

Syntax:

"’HSOFF’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’HSOFF’"

Disables hardware handshaking on the device.

HSON

Enables hardware handshaking.

XOFF

Disables software handshaking (default).

Syntax:

"’HSON’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’HSON’"

RXCLR

Clears characters waiting in the receive buffer pending transmission to the Central Controller.

Enables hardware handshaking on the device.

Syntax:

"’RXCLR’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’RXCLR’"

Clears the characters in the receive butter waiting to be sent to the Central Controller.

RXOFF

Disables the device from passing received characters to the Central Controller (default).

Syntax:

"’RXOFF’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’RXOFF’"

Disables the device from sending incoming (received) characters to the Central Controller.

Syntax: RXON

Enables the device to send incoming

(received) characters to the Central Controller.

"’RXON’"

This command is automatically sent by the master when a 'CREATE_BUFFER' program instruction is executed.

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’RXON’"

Enables the device to send incoming (received) characters to the Central Controller.

TXCLR

Clears characters waiting in the transmit-out buffer, and stop transmissions.

Syntax:

"’TXCLR’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’TXCLR’"

Clears characters waiting in the transmit-out buffer, and disables all transmissions by the device.

Syntax:

"’XOFF’"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’XOFF’"

Disables software handshaking on the device.
