Assign Serial RS232 Logic to a CTouch Software Button?

Hi Guys,
I've finally got my serial port to control my Yami amp and want to assign a button on the CTouch to send the command to the amp. I have wired the Ctouch to the amp's serial port.

The command I have is below, is this correct and how can I make a button on the screen send the command when I press it?

OpenSerial(1, 1, 9600, 8, 1, scNoFlowControl, scNoParity);
delay (1);
WriteSerial(1,'0,1,40,PUT,System(Power_Control(Power=Standby)),45'#13#10);

Thanks very much for your help in advance!

Normally you would open the serial port in the Initialisation section of the code. Put the WriteSerial function in a module by itself and disable that module in the Initialisation section. Have the module also disable itself when complete:

Code:

{ Initialisation Section }

OpenSerial(1, 1, 9600, 8, 1, scNoFlowControl, scNoParity);
DisableModule("Power Control");

{ Module called Power Control }

WriteSerial(1,'0,1,40,PUT,System(Power_Control(Power=Standby)),45'#13#10); 
DisableModule("Power Control");

The button on the touch screen needs to use the Module Enable special function to enable the Power Control module.

 

Brilliant, thanks very much for the advice!
