Termination
The menu interface is terminated by switching off the DVD
player.
5.9.2 Command Line Interface
The command line interface is part of level 1 diagnostic mode.
Via a command line interface the execution of Diagnostic
Nuclei can be controlled.
Set-up Physical Interface Components
Hardware required:
•
Control PC
• one free COM port on the Control PC
• special cable to connect DVD player to the Control PC
The control PC must use the following port settings for the used
COM port: 19200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no
flow control. The control PC is connected with a special cable
to the RS232 port of the DVD player. Via the same connection
the test pin will be connected to ground.
Activation
After power on the next text will sent to the control PC
The first line indicates that the Diagnostic software has been
activated and contains the version number; this is also an
indication that the first basic nucleus (nucleus number 1) has
been executed succesfully. The second line lets the user
choose the interface format. Enter ‘C’ to select Command
Mode and the next three lines are the succesful result of the
two subsequent basic tests (nuclei 2, 4 and the detection of the
display type used by the panel respectively). If not all these
messages appear on the terminal screen, then the related
nucleus found an error. The last line is the prompt ("DD>"). The
diagnostic software is now ready to receive commands.
Note: For player that has no Mechanical power switch, it can
be turned on by connecting the power-cable.
Usage
The commands that can be given are the numbers of the
nuclei. A command must be terminated with a <RETURN>
character from the control PC. When typing commands, the
backspace key can be used to make corrections.
In case of typing errors in the command, an error message is
returned. Example:
If the command (the nucleus number) is recognised, the
nucleus is executed. Result and output of an activated (and
terminated) nucleus will be sent back to the control PC
according to the standard layout.
Example for a command without error:
Example for a command with error:
Termination
The command line interface is terminated by switching off the
DVD player.
5.9.3 S2B Interface
Set-up Physical Interface Components
Hardware needed:
•
Control PC
• one free COM port on the Control PC
• special cable to connect DVD player to Control PC
• S2B monitor tool running on the Control PC
Activation
To start the S2B interface, connect the RS232 cable to the
Control PC in the correct manner. Then start the PC, start the
monitor tool and start the DVD player; turn off the monitor tool,
turn on S2B monitor tool. The S2B monitor tool now takes all
communication.
The S2B interface is activated by sending the bit pattern 110x
xxxx with the first character to the DVD player, when the user
is asked to choose an interface type. The command handler
will then activate the S2B pass-through nucleus. The character
sent will be passed to this nucleus without loss.
Note: For player that has no Mechanical power switch, it can
be turned on by connecting the power-cable.
Termination
To terminate S2B pass-through mode, switch off the DVD
player.
5.10 Script Interfaces
This interface is used during execution of the Player Script and
the Dealer Script to display output and error messages on the
local display of the stand-alone DVD player.
The activation and the usage can refer to the respective stand-
alone DVD player service manual
