Host PC Configurations XX091-01-01 Rev 902 AurorAcorD
For example, using commands in the following sections and the front panel key simulations in the table
above, you can pan left on the 4
th
receiver connected to an AurorAcorD with a host address of 9 as follows:
A009, KC04 selects receiver 4 on the current monitor of the 9
th
AurorAcorD
A009, KC29 simulates pressing Mech P/T Zoom on the front panel
A009, KP18 simulates panning left at the current p/t speed.
You may also execute the pan left command on the 4
th
receiver connected to an AurorAcorD with a host
address of 9 using the commands below (refer to the tables on the following pages). This is the method that
you must use if you have one user on the host PC and another at the AurorAcorD front panel at the same
time. If you have only one user and that user is at the host PC, you can use either method (the one above or
shown here).
A009, SP04 displays camera 4 on the spot monitor.
A009, SR04 selects receiver 4 for future receiver commands.
A009, PL025 pans left (at slow speed).
A009, PL000 stops panning.
Spot Monitor
Commands
Description
SPxx Selects a camera for the spot monitor. xx = 01-16.
SQx Controls sequencing on the spot monitor. x = 0 to stop sequence, x = 1 to start
sequence, x = 2 to toggle sequence state.
Note: A separate key press and key release is needed for certain functions, such as linking a macro, where
the operator must press and hold the Macro key and then press a number key.
General
Commands
Description
DT Reads date and responds with HR:mm/dd/yy , D where mm = month, dd = day, yy =
year, D = 0-6 for Sunday through Saturday.
KCxx Front panel key cycle (press and release). xx = 01-32.
KPxx Front panel key press. xx = 01-32.
KRxx Front panel key release. xx = 01-32.
MR Menu reset (exits menus, help, and telemetry mode).
RH Reads reset history and returns HR:xxxxx where xxxxx=00000-65535. Reset history is
the number of times that the AurorAcorD was powered or other reset.
RL Reads LED Status and returns HR:xxxxxxxx,hhhhhhhh. hhhhhhhh contains the 32
MSBs of 32 2-bit vertical counters and xxxxxxxx contains the 32 LSBs of 32 2-bit
vertical counters. The state of LED 1 is indicated by the LSBits of xxxxxxxx and
hhhhhhhh; similarly, the state of LED 32 is indicated by the MSBits, etc. There are four
possible states for each of the 32 LEDs as follows:
h bit x
bit LED State
0 0 LED is OFF
0 1 LED is slow blinking
1 0 LED is fast blinking
1 1 LED is ON
RT Reads current time. Returns HR:dddddddddd which is seconds since 1970.
SChh, mm, ss Sets current time. Hours hh = 00-23, minutes mm = 00-59, seconds ss = 00-59.
SDmm, dd, yy Sets the current date. Month mm = 01-12, day dd = 01-31, year yy = 00-99.
STdddddddddd Sets current time. dddddddddd = decimal number of seconds since 1970, which is a
standard C/Unix time.
TM Reads the time and responds with HR:hh:mm:ss where hh = hours, mm = minutes, ss =
seconds.
“KP” is the code for
simulating the press of a
front panel key.
“18” is the code for the left arrow key on the
AurorAcorD front panel.
