Serial Port Control

Sonifex website at www.sonifex.co.uk/sci.

Serial Interface Commands and Responses
Most of the commands follow the same structure: a 3 letter command followed by a colon,
followed by a parameter (if any) and terminated by Carriage Return with optional Line
Feed. A Line Feed character may be sent but it will be ignored by the RB-PD2. Commands
are not case sensitive.
Responses will be CR & LF terminated.
After the profanity delay has been powered-up, an initialisation string is sent
“Initialising PD2”.
Following are the commands and the expected responses:
