X3$ = Daylight saving time (used in the northern hemisphere [USA] and parts of Europe and Brazil)

0 = off/ignore

1 = on in northern hemisphere

2 = on in Europe

3 = on in Brazil

X3% = Event number, range = 0 - 99

X3^ = Event buffer 0 = receive 1 = user

2 = NVRAM

X3& = Event buffer offset (range = 0 to MaxBufferSize)

X3* = Event data size b = bit

B = byte (8 bits) S = short (16 bits) L = long (32 bits)

NThis parameter is case sensitive.

X3( = Event data to write

X4! = Read password. RS-232/422 connection responds with the password. The IP

connection responds with 4 asterisks (****) if a password exists, and with an empty space if none exists, instead of with an actual password.

X4$ = Number of bytes to read

X4% = E-mail event number (1 - 64)

X4^ = E-mail recipient’s address

X4& = Name of e-mail file to be sent First line of the file is the subject. The rest is the body of the e-mail.

X4( = Default name: a combination of the model-nameand the last 3 character pairs of the unit’s MAC address

(e.g., MGP-464-00-02-3D)

X5! = Extended security (password) levels: 1-10

The response is returned as two digits with a leading zero.

X5@ = Connection’s security level 0 = anonymous

1 through 10 = extended security level

11 = user

12 = administrator

X5# = (Ethernet only) Number of seconds before timeout on IP connections (min = 1,

max = 6500, and default = 30 = 300 seconds). If no data is received during the timeout period, the Ethernet connection is closed. Each step is 10 seconds. When the unit is connected via RS-232/422, only the global timeout commands apply; anything else returns an E13 error code. The response is returned with leading zeros.

X5$ = ASCII digit(s) representing the numeric value of the data element read from the event buffer (leading zeros are suppressed)

X6^ = Login without password is allowed. If enabled, the

user does not enter a password. After the user clicks OK, the login level is set based on the setting in the X6* parameter.

0 = Disabled

1 = Enabled

X6* = No-password login level

1 through 11 = Entry without password goes to

the level specified if an administrator password exists.

0 = Entry without password is placed one

level below the lowest password level (0 through 11).

The response is returned as two digits with a leading zero if needed.

X6( = Number of seconds (in tens of seconds) before

timeout on IP connections

X7) = Number that is inserted into the e-mail message if

 

the .eml file has an embedded E } command

 

with no parameters.

 

Use 0 as a placeholder if the optional X4& is

 

used, but X7) is not needed.

X50)

= Input 1 through 19

X50@

= Window

0 = All windows (available only for Freeze and window muting)

1 = Window 1

2 = Window 2

3 = Window 3

4 = Window 4

X50# = Input video format 1 = RGB

2 = YUV-HD

3 = RGBcvS

4 = YUVi

5 = S-video

6 = Composite

7 = DVI

X50$ = Test pattern

0 = Off

1 = Colorbars

2 = X-hatch (crosshatch 16x12)

3 = 4 x 4 X-hatch

4= Grey scale

5 = Ramp

6 = Alt. pixels (alternating pixels)

7 = White field

8 = Crop

9 = Side By Side (4x3 crop)

10 = Quad Split (4x4)

11 = Pip Images (4 x 3 PIP column)

12 = 1.78 Aspect (4 x 3/16 x 9 with 1.78 film aspect ratio)

13 = 1.85 Aspect (4 x 3/16 x 9 with 1.85 film aspect ratio)

14 = 2.35 Aspect (4 x 3/16 x 9 with 2.35 film aspect ratio)

X50% = Window text position

0 = None
