Mute State

MUT=

1 byte

Command or Query.

Sets or return the unit mute state in the form x, where:

0 = Disable (Not Muted)

1 = Enable (Muted) (default value)

2 = Unit muted due to AUX mute signal (see Note)

Note: This value is only shown in the response to a query, and cannot be given as a command. When MUT

returns a ‘2’ it indicates that one of the “hardware” mute conditions is present. For example, an auxiliary mute

could be present if the auxiliary mute has been enabled, and the signal to unmute the unit is not provided. If

MUT returns an unexpected value of ‘2’ then check the active faults and the status of the auxiliary mute.

Example: <1/MUT=1’cr’

>0001/MUT=1’cr’’lf’
