Programming the Mio R-4
“^” Button Commands with Embedded Codes
These Button Commands are used in the NetLinx protocol and are case insensitive.
All commands that begin with “^” have the capability of assigning a variable text address range and button state range. A
device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port: System (in all
programming examples - Remote is used in place of these values).
Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single command.
Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single command.
The "." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the "&" character is used for the 'And' notation.
"^" Button Commands with Embedded Codes
^BMF Set any/all button parameters by sending embedded codes and data.
Syntax:
"'^BMF-<vt addr range>,<button states range>,<data>'"

1 = Off state and 2 = On state).

TPDesign4 Resource Manager tab - Slots section).
• ’%I<icon 01-9900, 0-clear>’ = Set the icon using values of 01 - 9900 (icon numbers are assigned in the
TPDesign4 Resource Manager tab - Slots section).
• ’%J’,<alignment of text 1-9> = As shown the following telephone keypad alignment chart:
• ’%JT<alignment of text 0-9>’ = As shown the above telephone keypad alignment chart, BUT the 0 (zero) is
absolute and followed by ’,<left>,<top>’
• ’%JB<alignment of bitmap/picture 0-9>’ = As shown the above telephone keypad alignment chart BUT the 0
(zero) is absolute and followed by ’,<left>,<top>’
