(hex) = ä (ASCII))
As an interesting example, consider sending '
Q04GAINI*>3
' after the above example. This will result
in all the input gains being incremented by 3 dB so that channel 1 is at 13 dB and channels A-B are at
3 dB. The Vortex will respond with a status message of '
Q04GAINI*æçç
'. (13 + 132 = 145 = 0x91
(hex) = æ (ASCII), 3 + 132 = 135 = 0x87 (hex) = ç (ASCII))
Queries using the '
?
' character are straightforward. For example, '
Q04GAINI1?
' might return '
Q04GAINI110
', while '
Q04GAINI*?
' might return '
Q04GAINI*Äää
'.
6.4. Matrix Commands
Matrix commands are used for controlling parameters that exist at the crosspoints of the mixing
matrices. Typical parameters include gain and mute. Before describing the matrix commands, it is
necessary to give a description of the matrices involved. During the following discussion, it will be
helpful to refer to the figure below, which shows all the matrices with their input and output labels.
