046: Start Beacon
This command starts a beacon using the table you set up with command 045. You can start
with any of the beacon table slots, so different conditions can start different messages.
<046> S
Parameters:
046 is the default command name.
S = beaconing table slot number to start with
047: Cancel Beacon
This command allows you cancel a beacon after it has been started. Since only one beacon can
be active at a time, you don't have to specify which one you want to cancel.
<047>
Parameters:
047 is the default command name.
048: Start Beacon Using English Words
This command allows you to start a beacon from the serial port that will speak the message you
specify using English words. It automatically programs macro 297 to speak the message you
specify (see command 066 for more details) and starts beaconing using beacon table slot 1
(which should be set up ahead of time to call macro 297). This command is most useful for
alerting you of errors that occur in another system that can output a serial error message and
execute this command. Any word that is not in the controller's voice library (see Appendix B)
will be spelled out.
<048> Error_message_in_English_words
Parameters:
048 is the default command name.
Example:
048 This_is_a_test_error_message
