Controlling with USB
Controlling the Avalon matrix switch with the PCs USB port will
typically be used by a PC based control system. This next section
gives the command protocol needed to program a control system to

The Avalon matrix switch will be installed as a virtual COM port.
This means that any control program capable of controlling a
device through a normal serial port should be able to control the
Avalon through a USB port.
