Using pause protocol in a marco

[planopete]

I am new to JP1, especially extenders. I have searched throughout the post but have not been able to see how to include a pause in a macro. I am using the Atlas OCAP JP1.3 extenders. I understand that there is a pause protocol with that extender but I have not found a way to code it into the macro. I have read the readme file and it talks about the pause protocol (TV/1104) but doesn't give any examples of how to use it in a macro. Also I haven't been able to understand some of the messages that talk about extending the duration of a particular command. I have tried to repeat the command several times but that doesn't seen to work. Also-Also is there a section that shows some extender macros and key moves xamples where it describes what the Macro/key move does and then give an example. I work best at understanding something if there are examples. There are some examples in the extender read me and they were very helpful. Thanks again for any help.

First, you define the pause on a key for a device. For example, you could put the pause on TV/Phantom1

Next in the macro, you would put the following:

your previous stuff..... X_TV, Phantom1, X_whatever, next command


Remember, the pause value is 100ms (0.1 sec) so if you want a 2-second pause, you need to use a hex value of $14 (which is decimal 20). The pause value is stored in the upper byte of the hex value in IR, so what you put in when defining the pause is 14 00

Well, after several home/personal problems I was finally able to try this and after Chris told me to go to the special protocol tab to define a key, then it all fell into place. Thanks again for all the help.
