These commands are for more advanced control over the Zektor Switch, including front panel light
intensities, changes to serial port behavior, etc.
Advanced Command Definitions
‘V’ Version
Returns the current firmware version of the Zektor Switch.
^V ?$
Response String:
^=V “HDA800”,1.0a,30B2S12345678$
Where:
“HDA800”
=
Model
1.0a
= Firmware version
30B2S12345678
= Serial number
D
‘DZ’, ‘DDZ’, Set Zone Switching Delays
Theses commands are used to add a “mute time” when switching between analog or digital (coax)
inputs.
The ‘DZ’ commands controls the analog audio zones, and the ‘DDZ’ command controls the digital
zones. Only the ‘DZ’ command is described here, but both commands function the same way.
With no delay in place, when the Zektor Switch switches from one input to another, the switching is
immediate. When a delay is added, an extra step takes place when switching between inputs.
Instead of immediately switching to the new input, the zone is first muted for the ‘delay’ amount of
time, and is then switched to the new input.
For audio devices, the sound is first muted for the amount of time given by the ‘DZ’ command, and
then switched to the new input. This can eliminated pops on some digital audio receivers.
The different command forms are:
^DZ @
zone
,@
zone
,
delay
$
Add a delay to all channels of a zone or zones.
^DZ.
ch
@
zone
,
delay
$
Add a delay to only the selected channels of zones.
^DZ ?$
In polled mode, reads current settings of all logged changes.
^DZ @
zone
,?$
Read current settings of given zones.
Response Strings:
^=DZ @
zone
,
delay
$
or,
Where:
@
zone
= One (or more) zones to be mapped.
delay
= The delay time in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second).
