MEMO
To operate the unit remotely by receiving commands from an
external device via the RS-232C connector, press the [MENU]
button and select “RS-232C,” then set “FUNCTION” to “RECEIVER.”
Overview of Commands
The format of commands is an ASCII code string composed of “3
letters (upper case)” plus “;” (semicolon) plus “CR” (0dH).
If the command has an argument, a colon (“:”) is inserted between
the command letters and the argument. When multiple arguments
occur, they are separated by commas (“,”).
“:”
This is the code to separate the command and its argument.
“;” “CR”
This is the code that the unit recognizes as the end of a command.
* When using RS-232C, no “CR” is required.
* The codes of CR (0DH), Xon (11H)/ Xoff (13H)are the control
codes.
* When successively sending commands to the unit from an
external device, after each command, be sure that “ACK;” is
returned before sending the next command.
