[. . . ] The NXC-IRS4 can process up to two IR or serial device channel setting commands simultaneously. NXC-IRS4 Channel Assignments Channel 1-255 1-199 Ports 1-4 Description Generate the IR or serial command assigned to that channel. Provide intelligent feedback; if a channel with no IR command turned On, the card will turn that channel Off. Generate PUSH and RELEASE statements corresponding to the state of inputs 1 - 4. · Channel 255 changes are disabled after receipt of the 'PON' command. Programming Information The following NetLinx Send_Commands control the NXC-IRS4 Control Card. NXC-IRS4 Send_Commands Command CAROFF Disable the IR carrier signal until a 'CARON' command is received. Description Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, "'CAROFF'" Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'CAROFF'" Stops transmitting IR carrier signals to the IR_1 port. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, "'CARON'" Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'CARON'" Starts transmitting IR carrier signals to the IR_1 port. 20 NXF CardFrame, NetLinx Control Cards, and NetModules NXC-IRS4 4-Port IR/S Control Card NXC-IRS4 Send_Commands (Cont. ) Command CH Send IR pulses for the selected a channel. If the IR code for ENTER (function #21) is loaded, an Enter will follow the number. If the channel is greater than or equal to (>=) 100, then IR function 127 or 20 (whichever exists) is generated for the one hundred digit. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, "'CH', <Number>" Variable: channel number = 0 - 199. Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'CH', 18" The NXC-IRS4 performs the following: · Transmits IR signals for 1 (IR code 11). If the IR code for Enter (IR code 21) is programmed, the IRS4 performs the following steps. CP Halt and Clear all active or buffered IR commands, and then send a single IR pulse. You can set the Pulse and Wait times with the 'CTON' and 'CTOF' commands. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, "'CP', <code>" Variable: code = IR port's channel value 0 - 252 (253 - 255 reserved). Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'CP', 2" Clears the active/buffered commands and pulses IR_1 port's channel 2. CTOF Set the duration of the Off time (no signal) between IR pulses for channel and IR function transmissions. This command sets the delay time between pulses generated by the 'CH' or 'XCH' send commands in tenths of seconds. Syntax: SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, "'CTOF', <time>" Variable: time = 0 - 255. Example: SEND_COMMAND IR_1, "'CTOF', 10" Sets the Off time between each IR pulse to 1 second. CTON Set the total time of IR pulses transmitted and is stored in non-volatile memory. [. . . ] While channel is on, volume for audio channel 2 is muted (lowest volume); when channel is off, the volume level is restored. Ramping a volume channel while the mute channel is on will not automatically turn off the mute channel but the ramping will still occur; the volume change will be noticed when the mute channel is turned off. For setting ramp rates and presets, refer to the Programming Information section on page 45. NXF CardFrame, NetLinx Control Cards, and NetModules 43 NXC-VOL4 Volume Control Card NXC-VOL4 Levels Volume (audio) channels 1 and 2 use levels 1 and 2 respectively. For reading current volume levels and displaying bargraphs see CREATE_LEVEL and SEND_LEVEL . The two levels associated with each port of the NXC-VOL4 Control Card are listed in the table below: NXC-VOL4 Levels Port 1 Level 1 2 Description Output #1 Output #2 Level 1 2 Port 2 Description Output #3 Output #4 CREATE_LEVEL This keyword creates an association between a specified level of a device and a variable that will contain the value of the level.
