Strings from G3 Panels

Greetings,
I have had mixed results passing strings from buttons on G3 panels to the master. In TPD3, there is a button property for a string output for each button. I like to use these for TV tuner presets as they can be changed without altering code.
I am working on a system where I am not seeking the string outputs as DATA.TEXT events. I am however seeing the wake and sleep messages from the panel.
I have done exactly this in the past with good results.
Could there be something I am not doing that allows the buttons to pass strings back to the master?
G3 panel is an AXU-CV10
Master is an NI-2000
I am trying to send 'CC026' for example. I have filled in the string field in TPD3 with CC026 and 'CC026' Neither way works.
Thank you!

both strings are received in notification in my test environment....
Would you get the strings in notification?
Panel Firmware?
Regards,
I have not tried notifications.
I do not receive button strings in a device buffer or DATA.TEXT event.
Hmmm...
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
I believe the original intent of a data string sent from a G3 panel was for use in a non-AMX control environment. The touch panel could be connected to any device with a Com Port such as a PC. You will find that the string you progammed into the button will be transmitted out the DB9 connector on the back of the touch panel.
Those G3 panels are not so obsolete after all.
Amen. From a system controlability perspective, G3 stuff is just fine.
