Hi
concening function SendRemoteCommand,
what is the meaning of "mask" and "bus" parameters ?
I understand the use of "bus" parameter, but not for 'mask' paramerter.

In case of IRTrans bus modules connected to an IRTrans usb module, ecah bus module is addressed with the 'bus' parameter.

Thanks.

It is the other way round:

- The bus parameter selects the IRTrans Device connected to the PC (either USB, RS232 or Ethernet). 0 = first one, 1 = 2nd and so on
- The mask or address mask parameter selects the Bus modules connected to the selected bus. It is a Bit mask that allows to select any combination of bus modules:
1 = Device ID 0, 2 = Device ID 1, 4 = Device ID 2 and so on. Adding the numbers allows to select multiple bus modules.

Hi,now it s clear.

And in case of several IRtrans bus modules,
how are the adrdess of the module ?
or can i set this address ?
I assume that this address is stored in some non volatile memory ?

Thanks

IRTrans Bus Modules do have a 4 way DIP Switch to select the ID from 0 - 15.

Thats what I was looking for...
So the mask to flash only BusModule(0110) or #6 is (0000000001000000) or [csendmask]64;
and the mask to flash BusModules #6, 10 and 14 is (0100010001000000) or [csendmask]17472.

Is there a way to assign a mask in the .rem files?

[csendmask] in remote.irm is applied to each applicable command, is there a syntax for applying to the entire remote?

No, the sendmask parameter cannot be assigned in .rem files.

To keep everything usable in different environments everything is strictly kept apart. We do not store any information specific for the installation in the .rem file.
