Monoflop functionality for 1216H

[HB9EKK]

Does 1216H provide for a monoflop function? Means, that I can activate a button just for 1 second to steer a microswitch?

Not from the web pages, but you could achieve something like that using a pulse command, see page:

Unfortunately the 1216H doesn't support real monoflop functionality. Forget about the HTML commands for this function. Use a real monoflop as NE555 or similar and switch on/off a relay for triggering the NE555.
I am using a K3 and this TRX needs a kind of impulse for startup.

How do you define a "real monoflop functionality"?

It's not needed for triggering the pwr to K3. You can have it on for ever, just switch it off before you send the "pwr off" command via the serial port

A real monoflop doesn't bouncing like a mechanical relay does.
And if the relays are switched on/off (in terms of monoflop function) the output signal is bouncing because of the mechanical contacts.
The K3 can be switched off by sending a "power off" -command via serial port. But the K3 cannot be switched on via serial port. The K3 needs a small pull down at pin 8 (ACC connector) for remote switching on. This pull down signal must not last for ever it is just a small pull down signal of several milliseconds.
For that reason I trigger a monoflop (NE555) via the relays and the monoflop turns on the K3 remotely (electrically isolated via optocoupler). For K3 power off I am using the power off command via serial port.

OK, yes in that context I understand what you mean. Though I think a relay could also have a monoflop function if the thing it controls does not mind that the signal jumps up/down before settle down. It is all about how fast the controlled thing is able to detect changes in the signal.
