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 will perform the instruction; and if 

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

HEX code 

01  

85 

88  

83 

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 HEX codes: 

41 

81 

87 

83 

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 was sent (except for the first byte, where the DESTINATION bit is set high).   

 

NOTE 3

 - SETUP # 0 is the present setting. SETUP # 1 and higher are the settings saved in the switcher's memory, (i.e. those 

used for Store and Recall). 

 

NOTE 4

 - 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 the HEX code 

0B 

80 

80 

85 

would be HEX codes 

4B
