NOTES on the above table:

NOTE 1 - When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the
PC. If this code is sent to the switchers, it will reset according to the present power-down settings.

NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional definitions. That is, if the switcher receives the code, it will perform
the instruction; and if the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the front panel),
then these codes are sent. For example, if the HEX code
01

85

88

83

was sent from the PC, then the switcher (machine 3) will switch input 5 to output 8. If the user
switched input 1 to output 7 using the front panel keypad, then the switcher will send HEX codes:
41

81

87

83

to the PC.
When the PC sends one of the commands in this group to the switcher, then, if the instruction is valid,
the switcher replies by sending to the PC the same four bytes that it was sent (except for the first
byte, where the DESTINATION bit is set high).

NOTE 3 - SETUP # 0 is the present setting. SETUP # 1 and higher are the settings saved in the
switcher's memory, (i.e. those used for Store and Recall).

NOTE 4 - The reply to a "REQUEST" instruction is as follows: the same instruction and INPUT codes
as were sent are returned, and the OUTPUT is assigned the value of the requested parameter. The
replies to instructions 10 and 11 are as per the definitions in instructions 7 and 8 respectively. For
example, if the present status of machine number 5 is breakaway setting, then the reply to the HEX
code
0B

80

80

85

would be HEX codes
4B

80

81

85


NOTE 8 - The reply is as in TYPE 3 above, except that here the OUTPUT is assigned with the value
0 if the setup is not defined / no valid input is detected; or 1 if it is defined / valid input is detected.
