turns on automatic output change reporting. When a crosspoint is changed, the “X” command
will be sent to report the change. For example:
** X5,12,2 !!
indicating that output 5 is now connected to input 17 on level 1, to input 12 on level 2, and
does not exist or is not available on level 3.
To turn off output change reporting, use the command:
**U0!!
For example, suppose the routing switcher sends the following crosspoint connect
commands in a single command sequence:
** Y1,18!!
If U1 is in effect, the response to this command will be:
** OK !!
and then sometime later, the crosspoint change report will be sent
** X1,18 !!
“V”: Connect Levels
The command "V" is used to request that a connection be made. It must be followed by an
output number, a comma, and a comma-separated list of input numbers, one for each level.
Fewer than the number of levels in the routing switchermay be specified if desired, and the
remaining levels will be left unchanged.
For example, the command:
**V12,7,8,9!!
says that connections are to be made to output 12: from input 7 on level 1, input 8 on level 2,
and input 9 on level 3.
An input number of 0 means the output connection is to be left unchanged.
An input number of *-* (dash) means the output is to be disconnected. If the routing switcher
does not support disconnected outputs, the output connection will be left unchanged.
“X”: Connect Crosspoint
Use command X to request that a connection be made. It must be followed by an output
number, a comma, an input number, a comma, and a level number. For example:
**X8, 3, 2!!
This string says that a connection is to be made between output 8 and input 3 on level 2. If
the level number is specified as “0”, this means that the connection is to be made on all levels
(AFV).
“Y”: Connect AFV
Use command Y to request that a connection be made on all levels (AFV). It must be
followed by an output number, a comma, and an input number.
For example, the command:
**Y2, 8!!
This string says that input 8 is to be connected to output 2 on all levels.
