Let me start I don't know Access so I used code wizard. I can see the channel push but no activity on the com port

Wrong Push Device

You have the wrong device in your pushes
Also, the button feedback is taken care of in the System_Call file.

DEFINE_PROGRAM
(* {{NSX_DEFINE_PROGRAM *)
PUSH[TP,50]
PUSH[TP,51]
PUSH[TP,52]
PUSH[TP,53]
PUSH[TP,54]
{
  SYSTEM_CALL [1]'VCR6' (SVHS1,TP,50,51,52,53,54,0,0,0,0)
}

rdrieder.

Thanks Can't believe I didn't catch it.

The System Call doesn't need to be inside the push statements. It can be in the DEFINE_PROGRAM because the SYSTEM_CALL already has the appropriate PUSH statements defined.

Guys.
Thanks for your input I as able to check the vtr functions with the Accent3 Pro. But if I try the same program cable, vtr on a Ni3100 the vtr does not work. I can't figure it out.

The pinouts on an Axcent3 Pro and a NI-3100 are the same. Check your baud rate.

My guess is the baud rate command.

On the old Axcent3 program, it was placed in the START section. This worked fine then but does not work now. Think about it, when the program gets running on the Netlinx master, the NI's device hasn't yet come online to receive the 'SET BAUD' command. So, in essence, it didn't get there to be obeyed. Put the SET BAUD command in a data_event[my_Serial_Port] > Online: and I'll bet you get it to go.

Just a thought.
