Simulates Digital Rack HPA fornt panel keypad/encoder input.
Any/all front panel input can be simulated using this command. Combining
this command with query ‘5’,
Current Screen
, grants remote access to all
digital HPA menus and functions. Since digital HPAs maintain a menu system
internally
even if they have no front panel interface
, these two messages
provide an excellent method for setting up digital outdoor amplifiers.
