Audio Authority AVAtrix, 1156 and 1166 User Manual      

Any command not in the Exended Command Set 
which begins with a left bracket 

[

 and ends with 

a right bracket 

]

 is an invalid command and the 

1156/66 responds with the string 

(ERROR)

Response to [?,C,X] :

(RA,O1,Im)(RA,O2,Im)(RA,O3,Im)(RA,O4,Im)
(RA,O5,Im)(RA,O6,Im)(RB,O1,Im)(RB,O2,Im)

Power Up, Extended Commands and their Ef-
fect on Echo Function

On power up, the 1156/66 sends the string (RE-
SET). The 1156/66 also echoes any data received 
on the RS-232 port. If any valid normal command 
is received (commands beginning and ending with 
brackets [ and ]), the 1156/66 ceases echoing charac-
ters to prevent these echoed characters from corrupt-
ing responses. The echo function remains off until 
the 1156/66 is reset, either by interrupting power or 
by double-pressing the front panel knob.
