channel character, as it is for the entire ANI4IN.

Command String:

< GET DEVICE_ID >

Where 

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 is 31

characters of the device ID. The ANI4IN always

responds with a 31 character device ID.

ANI4IN Response:

< REP DEVICE_ID {yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy} >

Get Preset

Command String:

< GET PRESET >

Where nn is the preset number 01-10.

ANI4IN Response:

< REP PRESET nn >

Set Preset

Where nn is the preset number 1-10. (Leading zero

is optional when using the SET command).

Command String:

< SET PRESET nn >

Where nn is the preset number 01-10.

ANI4IN Response:

< REP PRESET nn >

Get Preset Name

Send one of these commands to the ANI4IN.

Command String:

< GET PRESET1 >

< GET PRESET2 >

< GET PRESET3 >

etc

Where

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 is 25 characters

of the preset name. The ANI4IN always responds

with a 25 character preset name

ANI4IN Response:

< REP PRESET1 {yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy} >

< REP PRESET2 {yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy} >

< REP PRESET3 {yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy} >

etc

Where x is ASCII channel number: 0 through 4.

Command String:

< GET x AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES >

Where yyyy takes on the ASCII values of 0000 to

1400. yyyy is in steps of one-tenth of a dB.

ANI4IN Response:

< REP x AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES yyyy >

Set Digital Audio Gain

Where x is ASCII channel number: 1 through 4.

Where yyyy takes on the ASCII values of 0000 to

1400. yyyy is in steps of one-tenth of a dB.

Command String:

< SET x AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES yyyy >

Where yyyy takes on the ASCII values of 0000 to

1400.

ANI4IN Response:

< REP x AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES yyyy >

Increase Digital Audio Gain by n dB

Where x is ASCII channel number: 1 through 4.

Where nn is the amount in one-tenth of a dB to

increase the gain. nn can be single digit ( n ),

double digit ( nn ), triple digit ( nnn ).

Command String:

< SET x AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES INC nn >

Where yyyy takes on the ASCII values of 0000 to

1400.

ANI4IN Response:

< REP x AUDIO_GAIN_HI_RES yyyy >
