Kramer Electronics PL-18 - Manual (Page 15)

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Protocol 3000 Syntax
12
CRLF – For machine messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed
(ASCII 10)
Command chain separator character
When a message string contains more than one command, separate each
command with a pipe ( '|' ) character.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
9.5 Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII
communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect
the terminal to the serial, Ethernet, or USB port on the Kramer device. To
enter
CR , press the Enter key.
( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some
characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller
manual.
9.6 Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to
allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
9.7 Command Chaining
Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is
delimited by a pipe character ( '|' ). When chaining commands, enter the
message starting character and the message closing character only once,
at the beginning of the string and at the end.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is
entered.
A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.
9.8 Maximum String Length
64 characters
9.9 Backward Support
Protocol 2000 is transparently supported by Protocol 3000. You can switch
between protocols using a switch protocol command from either platform.
