Advanced Send Commands

When communicating with certain equipment, it is useful to send data to the device in other data types. Indigo's supports sending data in ASCII, HEXADECIMAL, DECIMAL, OCTAL, and BINARY. If a command is encapsulated in double quotes " Indigo's command interpreter will decode the data types and send in the proper data formats.

Below is a an example of the send command: HELLO

Data Type:	Advanced Send Command:
ASCII	"'HELLO'" or "'H','E','L','L','O'"
Decimal	"72,69,76,76,79"
Hexadecimal	"48h,45h,4Ch,4Ch,4Fh" or "$48,$45,$4C,$4C,$4F"
Octal	"110o,105o,114o,114o,117o"
Binary	"01001000b,01000101b,01001100b,01001100b,01001111b"
Mixed	"01001000b,69,'L','L',4Fh"

 

You can mix the data byte formats, the command interpreter will decipher each byte separately. Each byte should be separated by commas, except for multiple ASCII bytes, they can be together inside the single quote encapsulation.
