EDO - External Data Output

EDO (External Data Output) is an user definable, output-only, ASCII HEX protocol intended for CCTV control etc.

EDO is controlled from the Event Handler where it can be configured to send free text merged with parameters for the active stations.

Add EDO port number as an optional parameter before the text EDO 3 ”This goes to port 3” EDO 1 ”text” is equivalent to EDO ”text”

The $PUT DP message already have port parameter because $PUT 3 is EDO port 1. This is followed up by $PUT 4 (EDO port 2) $PUT 5 (EDO port 3) $PUT 6 (EDO port 4)

Syntax

This will send free text out on the EDO port

Example

EDO 2 "Door A2 open \x0D\x0A"
