(*********************************** In this program, the command string is sent to the Controller in the 'PAGE-(page name)' or 'PPON/PPOF-(page name)' format. The string can be captured in the buffer for one panel and sent to the other panel. If panels are combined using the DEFINE_COMBINE statement, the routine needs to be written only once, and the command is sent back to the same panel. *********************************************************) (************END OF PAGE TRACKING ROUTINE****************************)

System Send_Commands (Cont. )
ZAP!Clears all memory; erases buttons, pages, drawings, and symbols. Syntax:
"'ZAP!'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'ZAP!'"
Clears all memory and erases all buttons, pages, drawings, and symbols.
Only use the ZAP!command to erase all the saved data in the touch panel; data cannot be recovered after it is erased.
Video Send_Commands
Video Send_Commands direct the touch panel to perform various video specific operations. Video Send_Commands
@VBR Syntax: Sets the video sig- "'@VBR<data>'" nal brightness. Variables: data = 0 (min) - 255 (max) Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'@VBR 128'"
Sets the video brightness to 128. Syntax:
"'@VCT<data>'"
Variables: data = 0 (min) - 255 (max) Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'@VCT 128'"
Sets the video contrast to 128. @VDD Sets the autodetection or manual setting of the video standard. Syntax:
"'@VDD<mode>'"
Variables: mode = 1 = Auto-detect video input 2 = Manual set NTSC 3 = Manual set PAL 4 = Manual set SECAM Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'@VDD 3'"
Sets the panel to only display the PAL video format. @VHU Syntax: Sets the video sig- "'@VHU<data>'" nal hue. Variables: data = 0 (min) - 255 (max) Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'@VHU 128'"
Sets the video hue to a value of 128.

Video Send_Commands (Cont. )
@VSD Sets the video default settings (brightness, contrast, saturation, hue). Syntax:
"'@VSD'"
Variables: data = 0 (min) - 255 (max) Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'@VSD'"
Sets the incoming video values to their default settings. Syntax:
"'@VST<data>'"
Variables: data = 0 (min) - 255 (max) Example:
SEND_COMMAND TP, "'@VST 128'"
Sets the video saturation to 128.
AXP-AI8 Send_Commands
An AXP-AI8 is located within the AXP-PLV. These commands are necessary for turning channel delta modes ON and OFF. Delta mode compensates for level changes in continuous rotation potentiometers and should be turned ON for iris and focus knobs in the AXP-PLV. Send_Commands
SEND COMMAND AI8, "'DELTA5 ON'" or SEND COMMAND AI8, "'DELTA5'" SEND COMMAND AI8, "'DELTA7 ON'" or SEND COMMAND AI8, "'DELTA7'" SEND COMMAND AI8, "'DELTA5 OFF'" Takes channel 5 out of delta mode. [. . . ] If power is lost between the erase of flash memory and the completion of copying the new boot code from RAM to flash memory, the unit will not operate at all when power returns. If you have not already installed the SoftROM program, do so by logging into the AMX. com site and going to Dealers > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Firmware Files. Scroll-down the list of products to find the PosiTrack Pilot firmware TSK files (see the PosiTrack Pilot FG to TSK file relation section on page 41 for information on which TSK to use).
