MAS7.1 Suplemental Guide, Rev 1.1, 9/28/07
MAS7.1 Command Reference
‘SZ’ Set Input (Continued)
The command has two modes of operation, a non-breakaway and a breakaway mode.
If no breakaway channels are specified then it’s assumed all channels are to be switched, for instance:
SZ 1,3
will set everything to input 3
Whereas:
SZ 1,A3,D1,H2
will switch the analog audio ‘A’ to input 3, the digital audio ‘D’ to input 1 and the HDMI video ‘H’ to input 2.
When a response string is requested:
SZ ?
The response will depend upon the breakaway settings, if all of them are the same (like the first example) then
only the input will be returned. For instance the first example would return:
=SZ 1,3
If breakaway is in effect (different channels point to different inputs), then they will be listed separately. For
instance, assuming the Multichannel audio is currently switched to ‘2’, the second example would return:
=SZ 1,M2,A3,D1,H2
‘V’ Version Query (*)
Query for the current firmware version of the MAS7.1.
V ?
Request version string
V
Request version string
Response String:
=V MAS7.1
firmware_ver
firmware_serial_number
Where:
firmware_ver
= Version number of the MAS7.1’s firmware.
firmware_serial_number
= Internal serial number (does not match the product’s serial number).
‘XE’ Transmit Enable Settings (*)
In the Asynchronous mode of operation, the MAS7.1 will transmit state changes as they occur. This command
allows individual control over which state changes will be transmitted.
This MAS7.1 allows control over the following states:
•
Power State changes (On / Off condition).
•
Selection changes (input / output mapping changes).
•
Front Panel modes and intensity changes
•
Front Panel Button Presses.
•
IR codes received.
•
New IR codes learned.
•
Control Settings changes.
Each of the above states can be selectively set to asynchronously transmit their state changes, or run in the
Master / Slave mode. If asynchronous transmit has been disabled for one of the options, then that option will
revert to the Master / Slave mode.
