CH= 1 | Parameter to apply to select the subbus |
| channel |
CH= * | Parameter to apply command to all |
| microphone channels |
<W> |
|
W=S | Parameter to set subbus |
W=I | Parameter to set input |
W= O | Parameter to set output |
<X> |
|
X=
X=Null | Parameter to return the current level |
<Y> |
|
Y=R | Parameter to indicate relative |
Y=A | Parameter to set the level absolute |
Y= Null | Parameter will default to R (relative) |
Return Values
The command will return the updated level of the channel in the same format as the command. The level returned is always absolute.
Examples
The following command lowers the gain 3dB on microphone input channel 2.
This command applies only to the unit to which the serial cable is connected (the device is not specified): GAIN 2 I
The following is returned out the serial port, indicating an updated gain value. GAIN 2 I
This command reports back the microphone gating status of an AP400. This command is read only.
[DEVICE] GATE
Return Values
The command will return the current status of microphone gating for a given unit with a hex value.
Example
The following command requests the gate status from device 34. (When this command was issued, mics 1and 4 were gated on.) #34 GATE
The following is returned out the serial port, indicating an updated gate value.
