NOTES ON THE ABOVE TABLE: 

 

NOTE 1

 - When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the PC. If this code is sent 

to the switchers, it will reset according to the present power-down settings. 

NOTE 2

 - These are bi-directional definitions. That is, if the switcher receives the code, it performs the instruction, and if 

the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke on the front panel), then these codes are sent. For example:  

0000 0001 

 

1000 0101 

 

1000 1000 

 

0011 

 

was sent from the PC, then the switcher (machine#3) will switch input 5 to output 8. If the user switched input#1 to output#7 
via the front panel keypad, then the switcher will send: 

0100 0001 
1000 0001 
1000 0111 
1000 0011 

 

to the PC. 

When the PC sends one of the commands in this group to the switcher, then, if the instruction is valid, the switcher replies by 
sending to the PC the same four bytes that it sent (except for the first byte, where the DESTINATION bit is set "high").   

NOTE 3

 - The reply to a "REQUEST" instruction is as follows: the same instruction and INPUT codes as were sent are 

returned, and the OUTPUT is assigned the value of the requested parameter. The replies to instructions 10 and 11 are as per 
the definitions in instructions 7 and 8 respectively. For example, if the present status of machine number#5 is breakaway 
setting, then the reply to
