RS-232C command reference (Presenter)
For information regarding the RS-232C settings, refer to “Using the RS-232C interface”
(p. 96).
Command overview
A command basically consists of a ASCII code sequence containing “
stx
,” two alphabet
characters, and a semicolon (“;”). The two alphabet characters show the command type.
Arguments can be added to the command and they are separated from the two alphabet
characters with a colon (“:”) and multiple arguments are themselves separated by
commas (“,”).
“
stx
”
The ASCII code signal name (code number: 02H (hexadecimal)) and code
that signals the command start.
“
:
”
Code used by Presenter to separate the command and its arguments.
“
;
”
Code used by Presenter to signify the end of a command.
Example 1: To start playback, send the ASCII command:
stxPL;.
Example 2: To start the playback of video clip number 2 in palette number 0, send the
ASCII command:
stxPA:0,2;
.

Specifying an action and making a setting to Presenter
1.
Transmit the command from the control device to Presenter.
2.
If received correctly, Presenter returns ACK; and if an error occurs, Presenter returns ER.
“
ACK
” is an ASCII code signal name (code number 06H0 the tells the control device that
the command was correctly received.
Querying a Presenter setting
1.
Transmit the command from the control device to Presenter.
2.
If received correctly, Presenter returns the setting as a command; and if an error occurs,
Presenter returns ER.
3.
If the command from Presenter was received correctly, an ACK is returned (this ACK can
be omitted).
* If an ER command is sent to Presenter, Presenter will resend the command it sent in
step 2
. This
can also be omitted, in which case the procedure must be repeated from
step 1
.)
