+--- Thread: Virtual outputs or something else? (/thread-1429.html)
- davids - 04-10-2009
I want to find a way to advise my PC through ethernet/RS232 interface whether two physical outputs are both on at the same time using one command rather than checking the two outputs separately.
I note there is OQ - Virtual Output status in the RS232 manual but it says
that Comfort does not send this command at present.

I do this in my Comfort Client app by sending \"Y?\" as a single command and then decoding the bitmask returned.
This is quite efficient and works well
It\'s documented in the RS232 manual downloadable from the cytech website.

I am looking for something along the lines of a particular command from which the result reported back to me tells me clearly if both outputs are both on or not.
For example if virtual outputs would work I could interrogate one and would expect two possible results, one corresponding to ON (both on) and the other to OFF (both not on).
I could make up a response that checks if a combination of signals are on together or not, but how can I report the result of my response\'s determination through the RS232 interface?
