composed of a device type character and a device ID character.
COMMAND FORM DESCRIPTION
The structure of serial commands is as follows:
# <Device Type> <Device ID> <Command> [Values] <Carriage Return>
# indicates the start of a command line, the Carriage Return terminates a command.
NOTE
:
Converge Pro serial commands can be either UPPERCASE or lowercase. Return values
are always in UPPERCASE. In order for a command to be recognized by the RS-232 serial
port, the command must be terminated by a carriage return.
For example, a command to disable mute for Mic 2 (input channel 2) on Converge 880 device “0” would have the
command line
#10 MUTE 2 M 0
.
In this command line, 1 = the
Device Type
for Converge 880, 0 = the
Device ID
for unit 0,
MUTE
= Converge Pro
serial command, 2 = MUTE command
Value
to un-mute mic channel 2, M = MUTE command
Value
that specifies
a microphone input channel, 0 = MUTE command
Value
specifying that mute is OFF.
If an asterisk (*) is placed in the
Device Type
or
Device ID
fields, the command will apply to all units or all devices
respectively. For example, a command with a
Device Type
= 1 and a
Device ID
= * would apply the command to
all Converge 880 units. A command with a
Device Type
= * and a
Device ID
= 6 would apply the command to all
Converge Pro units with a Device ID of 6.
If a command specifies “(Null to query in text)” in its
Value
table, leave a blank in the command line to query the
current state of that value. For example, the command
#10 MUTE 2 M
<blank>
would return the current mute
state of Mic 2 on an Converge Pro 880 with a Device ID of 0.
