Your Source for RV-C Information.

By default, Omniscope uses F9 (249) as the Source Address for all of its messages. Sometimes, however, a script may need to use a different address. This is accomplished using the SOURCE command. The syntax is simply SOURCE ADDRESS.


: Pretend we are a generator!
SOURCE 40


Omniscope does not claim the indicated address, and therefore this technique can be dangerous. If another device is on the network with that address, it is just possible to create a lock-up condition that could bring down the network.

Normally messages are sent with an RV-C priority of six - a low priority. To change that value, use the PRIORITY command.


: Use a higher priority to send future messages
PRIORITY 3


Priority is rarely important, except in extreme bus loading conditions.
