Simple Instruction Set ™ Control
Host-to-interface communications
The Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands consist of
one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command character sequence. When
a command is valid, the unit executes the command and sends
a response to the host device. All responses from the unit to the
host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]),
which signals the end of the response character string. A string
is one or more characters.
Start-up message
When a local event, such as a front panel operation or error
condition, occurs, the unit responds by sending a message to the
host. The unit-initiated messages are listed below:
(c) CopyRIghT 2009, ExTRoN ELECTRoNICS Fox 4g DA8,
Vx.xx, 60-927-xx]]
The Fox DA issues the copyright message when it first powers
on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number, 60-927-xx is the part
number.
Error responses
When the unit receives a valid SIS command, it executes the
command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is
unable to execute the command because the command is invalid
or it contains invalid parameters, the unit returns an error
response to the host. The error response codes are:
E10 - Invalid command]
E12 - Invalid output number]
E13 - Invalid range]
Timeout
pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII
characters result in a timeout. The command operation is
aborted with no other indication.
Using the command/response table
The command/response table begins on page 3-6. Lower case
letters are acceptable in the command field. Symbols are used
throughout the table to represent variables in the command/
response fields. Command and response examples are shown
throughout the table. The ASCII to hEx conversion table below
is for use with the command/response table.

Symbol definitions
Symbols (variables), defined below, are used in the
command/response table on page 3-6. The symbols represent
variables in the unit-initiated messages and the command/
response table fields.
] = CR/LF (carriage return/line feed)
• = space
X!
= output 1 through 8
X@
= Mute status 0 = off (unmuted)
1 = on (muted)
X#
= Firmware version v .vv
X$ = Transceiver module status 00000000 = no light input
10000000 = light input
X%
= Temperature nnn F = whole degree Fahrenheit
X^
= Transceiver module status 0 = no module installed
1 = multimode
2 = singlemode
