The Compli Blu can be operated by RS-232 control. The RS-232C port is configured as a DCE device
using a female 9-pin D-Sub type connector.
RS-232 Pin Configuration:
The pin out of the Compli Blu unit’s RS-232C port is as follows:
Pin Signal
2 TXD
3 RXD
5 GND
This pin configuration allows a PC running a serial terminal program (such as Hyper Terminal) to
communicate with the player using a straight-through DB9 9-pin RS-232 serial cable. Do NOT use a
“Null-Modem” type cable for PC connection. For connection to a remote control system, please
refer to the documentation that comes with the remote control system.
Communication Settings:
The RS-232 control port of the Theta Digital Compli Blu uses the following communications settings:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bit: 1
Flow Control: None
Command Structure:
Each command starts with a # sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by a 3-character command code. If there
are any parameters for the command, the parameters are given in text format, separated by a space
(ASCII 0x20) from the command code. The # character (ASCII 0x23) must never appear in the
parameters. A carriage return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of the command. Each command must
not exceed 25 bytes including the start of command and end of command bytes.
The illustration of the command structure is as follows:
<Command> = <Start of Command><Command Code>[<sp><Parameters>]
<End
of
Command>
<Start of Command> = #, ASCII 0x23
<Command Code> = <byte><byte><byte>
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20
<Parameters> = command-specific
<End of Command> = CR, ASCII 0x0d
