Binary: [1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1] [0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0] [timeout_period_hi] [timeout_period_lo]
This command sets the IR Timeout Period, which is a parameter that controls how the Slink-e receives IR port messages. See Timeout Period.
The Slink-e maintains the IR Timeout Period in IR sampling period units. This command sets the number of IR sampling periods (see Sample Clock) in the IR Timeout Period, and what actual period that means depends on what the IR sampling period is at the moment. For example with the default 100 microsecond sampling period, an IR Timeout Period of 500 sample periods means a period of 50 milliseconds.
"timeout_period_hi" and "timeout_period_lo" are the most significant and least signficant bytes (respectively) of a 16 bit pure binary number. That number is the number of IR sampling periods in the IR timeout period.
The factor default IR sampling period is 500 sample periods.
Use a Get IR Timeout Period command to query the existing IR timeout period.
The Slink-e normally generates a IR Timeout Period Is response to confirm that it executed your command.
