SERIAL OUTPUT DEVICE PROPERTY EXPOSED FOR SCRIPTS AND EXPRESSIONS
The following table lists the serial output device property that can be used in scripts and expressions.
NOTES ON USING SPECIAL ASCII CHARACTERS IN SCRIPTS AND EXPRESSIONS: If a command contains unprintable characters,
replace each unprintable character with its three-digit ASCII code between angle brackets. For example, the command BLACK-HOT<Carriage
Return> is represented in VMX300(-E) as BLACK-HOT<013>. Note that ASCII codes must be three digits in length. If an ASCII code contains less
that three digits add leading zeroes.
When using ASCII characters in scripts and expressions, VMX300(-E) transforms lower case ASCII letters to upper case. If a lower case letter is
required in the command, use its ASCII code. For example, the command 1Ra is represented as 1R<097>. If a command contains single or double
quotation marks, replace the quotation marks with their ASCII codes: <039> for a single quotation mark and <034> for a double quotation mark.
IP DEVICE STATUS MONITOR PROPERTY EXPOSED FOR SCRIPTS AND EXPRESSIONS
The following table lists the IP device status monitor property that can be used in scripts and expressions.

Write OutputString Set OutputString to the device-control command you want to send to the serial output
device. The string must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
Example: If the command to put an infrared camera in black hot mode is “BLACK-HOT”
and if the command is terminated by a carriage return (“<013>”), use the following script
statement:
SET SerialOutputCamera.OutputString = “BLACK-HOT<013>”
Run the script to send the string to the camera.
