Dear All,

I would like to send send rs232 command from QLab to video switcher and projector, How can I do for this?

Best regards,

I use a program called Cool Term ( Mac) and a applescript to activate it.

tell application "CoolTerm"

activate

delay 1

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "0"

end tell

end tell

Kai

Better and faster way using CoolTerm (you don't need to active the app!!!)  :

First you open and connect a terminal to your rs232 adapter.  Then, you save it using a common name (here, I used "CoolTerm.stc")

Then you use these line as applescript cue in QLab :

tell application "CoolTerm"

WriteLine {"CoolTerm.stc", "test"}

end tell

In your case, If you use 2 ports, you should then have 2 coolterm windows, one for each port and saved in 2 different files (let's say coolterm_video.stc and coolterm_relay.stc

Then, you'll have :

tell application "CoolTerm"

WriteLine {"coolterm_video.stc", '"i" + "1"'}

end tell

or, without the " :

tell application "CoolTerm"

WriteLine {"coolterm_video.stc", "i + 1"}

end tell

And

tell application "CoolTerm"

WriteLine {"coolterm_relay.stc", "@1 n1"}

end tell

Have fun ;)

OH, I forgot to mention that you should save your coolterm file in the root of your hard drive with the described method or you'll have to specify the full path of your file in the applescript...

By root do you mean in the same location as the saved Qlab file? Where is root?

Thanks. 

PS: I like your way better ;-)
