Kramer Protocol
By default, the VP-16x18AK is set to protocol 3000 (see
) but
is also compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000
(see
).
describes how to switch between protocol 3000 and protocol
2000.
16.1 Switching Protocols
You can switch protocols either via the front panel buttons (see
) or the protocol commands (see
16.1.1 Switching Protocols via the Front Panel Buttons
To switch from protocol 3000 to protocol 2000, press and hold
To switch from protocol 2000 to protocol 3000, press and hold the OUT 1
and OUT 3 buttons for a few seconds.
the OUT 1
and OUT 2 buttons for a few seconds.
16.1.2 Switching Protocols via Protocol Commands
To switch from protocol 3000 to protocol 2000, send the following
command:
#P2000
To switch from protocol 2000 to protocol 3000, send the following
command:
0x38, 0x80, 0x83, 0x81
The Windows
®
-based Kramer control software
16.2 Kramer Protocol 3000
operates with protocol 2000. If
the VP-16x18AK is set to protocol 3000, it is automatically switched to protocol
2000.
This RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol lets you control the machine
from any standard terminal software (for example, Windows®
HyperTerminal Application) and uses a data rate of 115200 baud, with no
parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
