Control of Powerhorns

When my security system sees an alarm condition, I want to control multiple PH508 Powerhorns and with X4X. These require a stream of turnon's and turnoff's to make them function. When I use X4X to send the on's and off's via a script I encounter two problems:

1) After a few seconds of transmission, X4X overloads with collision errors and locks up so that the only way I can stop it is to crash the X4X application. I don't know what would be the best scripting approach to solving this.

2) I am unable to break into X4X with, for example a unit change of state, while it is transmitting a series of on's and off's. Apparently any such continuous transmission must have programmed pauses in it to allow X4X to multi-task. What is the best way to do this?

Jack
