The DMX Control Program can receive the command ‘go script_name’ from one or more clients and the DMX Control Program will immediately execute that script.
Port 10000 is ‘listening’ on the JNIOR to receive the command to execute a script. Multiple connections can be made to this port.
A termination string must be sent by the sending device at the end of the command. The termination string required is \r\n – which is a carriage return (0D), line feed (0A)
Below is an example of a device sending a command to the DMX Control Program that makes the connection to port 10000 and maintains the connection.
Here are the commands that can be sent to DMX:
go script_name – where script_name is the name of the script to execute
go script_name –r # – where ‘r’ means repeat the script # times
go script_name –f – where ‘f’ means repeat the script forever
abort script_name – stops script_name from running (stops immediately not at end)
abort – stops all scripts that are running
