15-2 Appendix A
– Adding User-Defined Serial Protocols
Creating Your Own Protocol File
Protocol files can be created or edited on any non-document mode word
processor including DOS Edit and Notepad. Word processors such as Word,
WordPad, and Word Perfect can be used as long as the files are exported to non-
rich, straight ASCII text.
IMPORTANT The WinScript Compiler will not give error messages if your
PCL file contains bad syntax. It is your responsibility to check your events
thoroughly. If there is bad syntax in an event, the WinScript Compiler will omit
some or all of the bytes.
Note
The Protocol file AMIEVNTS.PCL is a special Protocol file. It provides
commands that Show Controllers can use internally. It should not be renamed,
edited, or changed in any way.
The Device Header
The file consists of a device header section named
Device
and then all of the
commands the device is capable of receiving. A device header has the following
example appearance:
[Device]
Version=1.0
Date=10/20/95
Author=Jeff Long
Maker=Pioneer
Model=LD-V8000
Supported=5.00
Type=D Players
Interface=Serial
DataBits=8
StopBits=1
Parity=N
BaudRate=9600,4800,1200
Protocol=DVD
Description=Pioneer LDV-8000 DVD player
The Version , Date , and Author fields are for information only. If you create
a new Protocol file, set the
Version
to 1.0, the
Date
to the current date, and the
Author
to your name. If you modify and existing Protocol file, add one tenth to
the version number if it is a minor change, or one if it is a major change; change
the
Date to the current date; and add your name to the Author field, separating
the names by commas.
The
Maker
and
Model
fields will appear in WinScript together when you select
a protocol. If the Protocol file is a generic protocol file, leave the Model field
blank.
