Command Form Description
The structure of serial commands is as follows:
#<Device Type> <Device ID> <Command> [Values] <Carriage Return>
#indicates the start of a command line, the Carriage Return terminates a command.
NOTE: Serial commands can be either UPPERCASE or lowercase. Return values are always in UPPERCASE. In order for a command to be recognized by the
For example, a command to disable mute for Mic Input 5 on a Converge Pro 880 with a Device ID of 2 would have the command line #12 MUTE 5 M 0.
In this command line, 1 = the Device Type for Converge 880, 2 = the Device ID for unit 2, MUTE = serial command, 5 = the channel Value, M = the channel type Value for mic input channels, and 0 = the command Value that turns mute off.
If an asterisk (*) is placed in the Device Type or Device ID fields, the command will apply to all units or all devices respectively. For example, a command with a Device Type = 1 and a Device ID = * would apply the command to all Converge 880 units. A command with a Device Type = * and a Device ID = 6 would apply the command to all units with a Device ID of 6.
