NOTES on the above table:
NOTE 1 - When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the PC. If this code is sent to the
switchers, it will reset according to the present power-down settings.
NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional definitions. That is, if the switcher receives the code, it will perform the instruction; and if the
instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the front panel), then these codes are sent. For example, if the HEX code
01 85 88 83
was sent from the PC, then the switcher (machine 3) will switch input 5 to output 8. If the user switched input 1 to output 7 via the front
panel keypad, then the switcher will send HEX codes:
41 81 87 83
to the PC.
When the PC sends one of the commands in this group to the switcher, then, if the instruction is valid, the switcher replies by sending to
the PC the same four bytes that it was sent (except for the first byte, where the DESTINATION bit is set high).
NOTE 3 - SETUP # 0 is the present setting. SETUP # 1 and higher are the settings saved in the switcher's memory, (i.e. those used for
Store and Recall).
NOTE 4 - The reply to a "REQUEST" instruction is as follows: the same instruction and INPUT codes as were sent are returned, and
the OUTPUT is assigned the value of the requested parameter. The replies to instructions 10 and 11 are as per the definitions in
instructions 7 and 8 respectively. For example, if the present status of machine number 5 is breakaway setting, then the reply to the HEX
code
0B 80 80 85
would be HEX codes
4B 80 81 85
NOTE 8 - The reply is as in TYPE 3 above, except that here the OUTPUT is assigned with the value 0 if the setup is not defined / no
valid input is detected; or 1 if it is defined / valid input is detected.
NOTE 13 - This is a request to identify the switcher/s in the system. If the OUTPUT is set as 0, and the INPUT is set as 1, 2, 5 or 7, the
machine will send its name. The reply is the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT. For example, for a 2216, the reply to the
request to send the audio machine name would be (HEX codes):
7D 96 90 81 (i.e. 128dec+ 22dec for 2nd byte, and 128dec+ 16dec for 3rd byte).
