be used to get the value of a property. Use the dot character (.) when addressing a property:
ç
GET /.SerialNumber
æ
pr /.SerialNumber=87654321
GETALL command
The
GETALL
command can be used to get all child nodes, properties and methods of a node with one
command.
ç
GETALL /V1/MEDIA/ETHERNET
æ
n- /V1/MEDIA/ETHERNET/P1
æ
n- /V1/MEDIA/ETHERNET/P2
æ
n- /V1/MEDIA/ETHERNET/P3
æ
n- /V1/MEDIA/ETHERNET/P4
æ
n- /V1/MEDIA/ETHERNET/P5
SET command
The
SET
command can be used to modify the value of a property. Use the dot character (.) when addressing
the property:
ç
SET /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/I2/HDCP.AllowedHdcpVersion=Off
æ
pw /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/I2/HDCP.AllowedHdcpVersion=Off
CALL command
A method can be invoked by the
CALL
command. Use the colon character (:) when addressing the method:
ç
CALL /V1/EDID:switchAll(F49)
æ
mO /V1/EDID:switchAll
MAN command
The manual is a human readable text that describes the syntax and provides a hint for how to use the
primitives. For every node, property and method in the tree there is a manual, type the MAN command to get
the manual:
ç
MAN /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O1.Output5VMode
æ
pm /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O1.Output5VMode ["On" | "Auto" | "Off"] Enables/disables power 5V output

8.4.7.
Escaping
DEFINITION:
An escape sequence is a sequence of characters that does not represent itself when used
inside a character or string literal, but is translated into another character or a sequence of characters.
Property values and method parameters can contain characters which are used as control characters in the
protocol. They must be escaped. The escape character is the backslash (‘\’) and escaping means injecting
a backslash before the character that should be escaped (like in C language).
Control characters are the following: \ { } # % ( ) \r \n \t
The
original
message:
CALL /V1/MEDIA/SERIAL/P1:sendMessage(Set(01))
The
escaped
message:
CALL /V1/MEDIA/SERIAL/P1:sendMessage(Set\(01\))
