Commands

Command

Description

R

Routing command

S

Routes a single input to all outputs

M

Returns the current routing status of matrix

F

Toggle 5V 

fi

 ber optic extender feature

R Command

The R command allows speci

fi

 c routing of inputs and outputs.

Syntax:

r param1 param2

Parameters:

param1  

 

DVI Ouput 

 

[1 - 8]

param2  

 

DVI Input 

 

[1 - 8]

S Command

The S command routes a single input to all 8 DVI outputs.

Syntax:

s param1

Parameters:

param1  

 

Input 

  [1 

- 

8]

Notes

:

Setting 

param1

 to a value of 0 will place the matrix in 

one-to-one mode

.  This 

means that Input1 will be routed to Output1, Input2 will be routed to Output2, and 
so on.
