Model URA-RS232
How to Create Command Strings
First, select the comm. port you will use to
connect the URA-RS232 to the PC.
After you select the comm. port, you will be asked if you
wish to use an existing file or create a new file. Until you
have saved a file, choose “Create New” and give your
new file a name.
To build the “ON” and “OFF” strings
URA-RS232 programming software,
start typing the ASCII commands in
the “ON String” or “OFF String”
windows. If you wish to insert a Wait
Time in between codes, just specify
the Wait Time in the Hours, Minutes,
and Seconds fields and click “Insert
Wait”. The maximum Wait Time is 16
hrs. 59 min. 59 sec. If you need a Wait
Time longer than that, just insert
repeated wait commands back to
back. If you need to insert a Hexadecimal byte, you must type the
Hexadecimal byte into the Hex Byte window and click Insert Hex Byte. The
Hexadecimal bytes can occupy the hexadecimal range of 0x00 to 0xFF.
Note!
There are a few restrictions you need to be aware of when you are building
your string. The Backspace key is the only way to correct/delete characters in
your string. You can only Backspace from the end of the string. The Windows
“Paste” function has been disabled. You may only insert a character at the
end of the string. The maximum length of the ON or OFF string is 100
characters. A Wait will occupy 3 character spaces in the string. Any ASCII
character input from the keyboard will increment the string length by 1. All
Hexadecimal bytes will increment the string length by 1 character with the
exception of the Hexadecimal byte x1B. This hexadecimal byte will occupy 2
bytes
