This command transmits the IR code at device 3, channel 15 for 1 second. Then, the
macro pauses 10 seconds before executing the next command or before finishing the
macro if no other commands exist.
Wait command
The wait command is used as a delay between pulses. This command should be used
sparingly because the final parameter of the pulse command contains a delay be-
tween instructions. Usually, this command is necessary for the case where a time de-
lay is desired before starting any IR pulse sequences.
Figure 58 shows a sample pulse command format and description of the variables.
•
Sample
Format: $W <time delay before pulse><CR>
•
Variables:
<time delay
before pulse>: This parameter represents the length of time between
pulses. This number is a time in tenths of seconds. For
example, to add a delay between pulses for 100 seconds,
the required parameter is 1000. The largest number for
this parameter is 65535 or approximately 109 minutes.
<CR>: This character indicates the end of the statement
(carriage return is pressing the RETURN key on the touch
panel keyboard).
•
Example: $W 455<CR>
This command waits 45.5 seconds before executing the next macro command.
Before you create an IR macro button, make sure that you have your equipment IR
files loaded into the ViewPoint. Refer to the Loading an IR File subsection for more
information. Load the IR files in the order of satellite IR first, VCR IR second, and TV
IR file last. This loading order places the satellite file as ViewPoint device 4, the VCR
as device 3, and the TV as device 2.
Figure 59 lists the IR code numbers and functions for most devices.
