C) Commands
Table 1.2 lists the commands for the 2099-2424 10 MHz Source/Inserter and briefly describes them. After a
command is sent the 2099-2424 10 MHz Source/Inserter sends a return “>” indicating the command has been
received and executed.
General Command Format - The general command format is {aaCND...}, where:
{ = start byte
aa = address (RS-485 only option -Q)
C = 1 character, either C (command) or S (status)
N = 1-digit command or status number, 1 through 9
D = 1 character or more of data (depends on command)
} = stop byte
*
PLEASE NOTE: The two character {aa}(00-31) prefix, in the table below,
should be used ONLY when RS-485, (option Q) is selected.
