LED Disable/Enable SEND_COMMANDs
The following commands enable or disable the LEDs on the Integrated Controller.
In the examples: <DEV> = Port 1 of the device. Sending to port 1 of the NI-700 affects all ports.
RS232/422/485 Ports Channels
RS232/422/485 ports are Ports 1-2 (NI-700) and Port 1 (NI-900).
RS-232/422/485 SEND_COMMANDs
The following sections only apply to the integrated controller component of the NIs.

Description
LED-DIS Disable all LEDs (on 32 LED hardware) for a port. Regardless of whether or not the port is active, the LED will
not be lit.
Issue this command to port 1 to disable all the LEDs on the Controller.
When activity occurs on a port(s) or Controller, the LEDs will not illuminate.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'LED-DIS'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND Port_1,"'LED-DIS'"
Disables all the LEDs on Port 1 of the Controller.
LED-EN Enable the LED (on 32 LED hardware) for a port. When the port is active, the LED is lit. When the port is not
active, the LED is not lit.
Issue the command to port 1 to enable the LEDs on the Controller (default setting). When activity occurs on a
port(s) or Controller, the LEDs illuminate.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'LED-EN'
Example:
SEND_COMMAND System_1,'LED-EN'
Enables the System_1 Controller's LEDs.
RS232/422/485 Ports Channels
255 - CTS push channel Reflects the state of the CTS input if a 'CTSPSH' command was sent to the port.
RS-232/422/485 SEND_COMMANDs
Command Description
B9MOFF Disables 9-bit in 232/422/455 mode. By default, this returns the communication settings on the serial port
to the last programmed parameters. This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'B9MOFF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'B9MOFF'"
Sets the RS-232 port settings to match the port's configuration settings.
B9MON Override and set the current communication settings and parameters on the RS-232 serial port to 9 data
bits with one stop bit. This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MOFF' command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'B9MON'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'B9MON'"
Resets the RS-232 port's communication parameters to nine data bits, one stop bit, and locks-in the
baud rate.
