Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands

The SW DVI Plus can be remotely set up and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) that is attached to the rear panel Remote/Auto-SW port. Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands are issued from the computer and transmitted to the SW DVI Plus via RS-232. (See “Wiring for RS-232 Control” in the “Installation” section for information on connecting to this port.)

Host-to-switcher Communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. Enter these commands on your computer and send them to the SW DVI Plus using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response back to the host computer.

Most responses from the SW DVI Plus to the host computer 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.

Switcher-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection takes place, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host, indicating what selection was entered. No response is required from the host.

The following switcher-initiated message is sent when the switcher first powers up:

Vn.nn is the firmware version number; 60-nnn-nnis the part number.

NOTE: This copyright message is displayed only at switcher power-up.
