Station Type (st)
The station's software is capable of mimicking several ETC standard button and fader
station types. However changing the type from its default (12 button, 16 Fader station
type) has its disadvantages, most notable of them are a reduced number of buttons and
faders. Most users will make the best use of this station as its default type and will not
need to make use of this feature. This always yields the highest quantity of controllable
items even if they are left unused. The 12 button, 16 fader station type is also the only type
allowed when Emphasis mode is enabled (see
With Emphasis [Serial Button Protocol] on
This property sets the type of station that the AV/Serial Interface station will emulate.
Although there is nothing preventing you from setting this property to any value, only the
ones listed below will be recognizable by a Unison processor.

Settings (cf)
1
Echo
0 = off
, 1 = on
2
No update
0 = off
, 1 = station will be polled by the computer
3
Level & fader scale
0 = 0-255
, 1 = 0-100
4
Reply terminator
0 = CRLF
, 1 = CR (LF is always ignored on
receiving)
5
Packet mode
0 = disabled
, 1 = enabled
6
Emphasis mode
0 = disabled
, 1 = enabled
7
Configuration jumpers
Values of 4 configuration bits. Only bit 0 has
jumper pins on the PCB.
99
Reset station
1 = set configuration to defaults, clear memories,
set fade rates to 0, set key and fader LEDs to off,
set levels to 0, and clear bindings.
Notes:
• Configuration switches are stored in EEROM and are retained during a
power loss.
• When packet mode is enabled, commands are prefixed with a one-byte
preamble. The eighth bit (MSB) is always a logical one and the lower
7 bits should contain the number of bytes in the command. The length
should only be calculated for the command and does not include the
preamble or the terminator. Valid commands are replied with an ACK
command. Invalid commands are replied with a NAK command.
Packet mode cannot be enabled until Echo is turned off.
• Configuration jumper settings: J2-B enables Emphasis mode.
• Emphasis mode only affects outgoing messages (station to host).
