TLX Matrix Switch ASCII API V5 11 Rev. I, January 2019
XCTIME
The latest API now collects data on how long a port is connected. This is a cumulative amount,
not how long the current connection has been in place. It is kept for both the input and output sides of
a connection. For example, if the only input port ever used was port 1, then it would have a non-zero
total, while all other input port totals would be zero. If input port 1 was only connected to output ports
3, 5 and 7, then those three ports would have non-zero totals and all other output port totals would be
zero.

Input 1 is connected to output 1 in this example (see XGET output). Each time the XCTIME
command is sent, the connection times are increasing. Then the ports are disconnected (XPUT). As
can be seen, the connection times stay the same. Finally input 1 is connected to port 2. As shown,
input 1 times are increasing, but output port 1 times do not change.
XTYPE (New to Version 5)
Returns a string containing the TLX model. This was formerly the command XDCSTYPE but has
been renamed. The old name will still work.
