Response Strings 

Response Strings 

Typical: [Attention] [Unit#] [data ...data] [cr] [lf] 
 
232-ATSC+ status response strings contain ASCII characters similar to those used for the same functions in 
command strings. An ASCII 'carriage return' and ‘line feed' follow each response string. Functions shown as 
N/A are not applicable or available in the 232-ATSC 4; characters will appear in status strings as lower-case 
x.

For compatibility with 232-series tuners, the 232-ATSC 4 channel status is split into Major Channel and 
Minor Channel sections. The Minor Channel will always be 000 for analog channels.  The Minor Channel 
status will display “F00” if the Major channel is a special “one-part” digital channel.  Also, as one-part 
channels can go higher than 999, the Minor status will tell you how many thousands (up to 63) you add to 
the Major number. So, channel 1032 would show 032 Major F01 Minor.  Two-part channels are limited to 
999-999.

Volume 1 emulates 232-series volume level for compatibility with existing applications. 
Volume 2 shows actual 232-ATSC 4 level, from 0-100 steps. Mute status will be sent if a user mutes volume 
from an IR remote.
