String Interface
RS232, UDP serial strings, ACN strings, and OSC commands can be sent and received from the
console.
Enabling Serial
You can configure sending and receiving the various serial protocols supported by the console
in Setup, see
Show Control Settings
. Most string protocols are disabled by default.
The Eos Configuration Utility, or ECU, also contains settings that control which network
interface is allowed to send and receive UDP, ACN Strings, and OSC messages. See
ECU>Settings>Network>Interface Protocols for more information.
Receiving Eos Serial Commands – RS232, UDP, and ACN Strings
All text will be queued up until either a carriage return (hex 0D), a “\r”, or a “#”, is
encountered in the string to show the end of the command.
Command Line
If the text begins with a “$”, the text that follows until the carriage return (hex 0D), a “\r”, or
a “#” will be sent to the command line for user 0 and processed as if that user had typed it.
Commands can be directed to a specific user command line by adding <UX> at the beginning
of the string, where X is replaced by the intended user number. The carriage return (hex 0D), a
“\r”, or a “#” will also act as the [Enter] key for the command line.
Example:
$ Chan 1 Color Palette 1# - puts channel 1 into color palette 1 on the
background user (User 0).
<U2> $ Chan 1 Thru 10 At Full /r - sets channels 1 through 10 to full
manually on User 2’s command line.
Note:
It is best practice to place spaces after both the <UX> and the $ symbol to
ensure the command is interpreted properly.
Note:
Command line text needs to use the same language as your console.
Language settings are found in ECU>General.
