Axcess Level Send_Commands (Cont.)
Command Description
AD
Ramps down one Axcess level at the
ramp rate set by the ‘AT’ command.
Ramps until ‘AS’, ‘AR’, or ‘AU’. Note that it is not possible to ramp an
Axcess level if it has not been connected to a DMX input (using the
’AC’ command).
Syntax:
"'AD<Axcess level>'"
Variable:
Axcess level = 1 - 8
Example:
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'AD1'
Ramps down Axcess level 1.
AR
Ramps a single Axcess level to the
chosen L level in T tenths of seconds.
If no time is given, the level ramp time (set by the ‘AT’ command) is
used and can be interrupted by the level up (‘AU’), level down (‘AD’)
or level stop (‘AS’) command.
If a group is tied to the Axcess level then the group will ramp with the
Axcess level. If another command affects this level - last command
sent wins.
Syntax:
"'AR<Axcess level>L<level> {T<time>}'"
Variables:
Axcess level = 1 - 8
level = 0-255 or 0%-100%
time = 0-65535
{}-Parameters in commands that are optional.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'AR1L255T5'
Ramps Axcess level 1 to step 255 (full) in 0.5 second.
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'AR1L50%T20'
Ramps Axcess level 1 to 50% in 2 seconds.
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'AR1L255'
Ramps Axcess level 2 to 100% using the group time.
AS
Stops any ramp that was initiated.
Stops Axcess level ramp using the Axcess level up (‘AU’) command,
Axcess level down (‘AD’), or Axcess level direct ramp (‘AR’) com-
mands on one Axcess level. The level and any connected groups
freeze at their current levels.
Syntax:
"'AS<Axcess level>'"
Variable:
Axcess level = 1 - 8
Example:
SEND_COMMAND DMX,'AS1'
Stops any ramp on Axcess level 1.
