Y?]
This command tells the MLC to
repeat a specific button’s press
commands at a fixed interval (a
set frequency).
X?
= the number of the button/
switch (1 - 128). See the
diagrams on pages
Y?
is the repeat interval: 0 to
65535, in 20 ms steps.
1 = 20 ms, 2 = 40 ms, 3 = 60 ms,...
65535 = 1,310,700 ms = 21.845
minutes.
If
Y?
= 0, the MLC stops
repeating the selected button’s
commands.
Example:
9*850*45#
RptRate*9*850
]
The commands associated
with the input 1 button press
are executed every 850x20 ms
(= 17,000 ms = 17 seconds) until
the repeat rate for that button is
set to 0 (“cleared”).
N
The button repeat SIS command (
X?
*
Y?
*45 #) must be entered each time you want to have a button press trigger
repeated command releases. Also, only one button at a time can be set to repeat: multiple buttons can not be in repeat
mode simultaneously.
N
The Repeat Rate... feature found in Global Configurator is based on this command. However, through scripting the
MLC sets the repeat mode to
on in response to a specific button press, and it sets the repeat mode to 0 when the button
is released or input is no longer selected. Do not configure the Display power buttons to use the repeat rate function.

2 = red LED is on
3 = green & red LEDs are
on (button glows amber)
4 = slowly blinking green
5 = slowly blinking red
6 = slowly blinking amber
7 = fast blinking green

9 = input button 1
10 = input button 2
11 = input button 3
12 = input button 4
