3 The Peripheral Device Drivers
The RC system peripheral devices have device drivers that let them communicate with computers.
The device driver needs to be installed so that the computer can recognize it and control it. The
Kramer K-Config software uses driver commands to control these peripheral devices.
Check—according to your list of peripheral devices—that you have all the required drivers:
• Kramer machines have drivers that are provided within the package
• Other peripheral device drivers that are included in the package
If the peripheral device that you are using is not included in the drivers package, you can manually
write the relevant commands, as described in Section 9.1
Driver commands that have a data range (for example, volume adjustment) can be written into the
Tables area, as described in
.
