RS-232 Control CommandS
RS-232 Control Command
The Matrix also supports RS-232 command control. Connect the RS-232 port of the Matrix to a PC with the included RS-232 serial cable
(DP9 female head to 3pin Phoenix Connector), as shown in the figure below.
Then, open a Serial Command tool on PC to send RS-232 command to control the Matrix. The RS-232 command list about the product
is shown as below.
RS-232 COMMAND
Communication parameters: Baud rate: 9600, Data bits: 8bit, Parity: none, Stop bits:1
General guidelines:
1. All command strings are started with a
“> “
(hex 3E and 20) character sequence; all feedback strings are started with a
“< “
(hex 3C and 20)
character sequence.
2. All command strings are ended with Carriage Return and Line Feed characters (hex 0D and 0A).
3. All strings are written entirely in capital letters.
4. Feedbacks are sent regardless the control interface from which the function was called.
Notes:
- Each Input Port is represented by a decimal number.
- The decimal number 0 represents a virtual input equivalent to the cable disconnection.
- Each Output Port is represented by a letter.
- The # character represents the equivalent of all Inputs or Outputs globally.
