Using Commands
The remote-control user of an ApHandheld utilizes the following command to enable
r
emote-control:
<> <CR>
In response to this, the user should see the message:
<USB_MULTICHAR_CMDS_ENABLED>
=
>
T
he first line returned is a comment to the user “<USB…>” which indicates the
command parser is awake.
The ‘=’ indicates the command was recognized and hence was executed successfully.
The ‘>’ is the prompt char, indicating the unit is waiting for another command.
Argument versus Argument-less commands
Commands that take arguments give their arguments Carriage-return delimited from
the command. Where this documentation shows arguments in braces
[argument1,argument2] it is listing acceptable variables. These are to be entered
without the braces.
Sent:
< ARGUMENT_COMMAND > <CR>
ARGUMENT1 <CR>
Received:
= <CR> --OR-- (error code if error occurred) <CR>
>
Sent:
< ARGUMENT_LESS_COMMAND > <CR>
Received:
= <CR> --OR- (error code if error occurred) <CR>
>
Note: Synch on the ‘>’ character (prompt character) to indicate a
command completed. The previous line in the stream will have the result
of the operation (‘=’, ‘*’, etc).
Commands
Start Remote Control:
Send: <> <CR>
Recv: <USB_MULTICHAR_COMMS_STARTED> <CR>
= <CR>
>
Keypad Disable / Enable Commands
Send: <KEYPAD_OFF> <CR> --OR-- <KEYPAD_ON> <CR>
Recv: ‘=’ <CR>
Use of this is highly recommended. These commands turn processing of the physical
keypad off/on so that the user does not have to worry about keypad inputs interfering
with the execution of a remote control session.
