Remote Control

There are two ways to control the horizontal shifting feature of an RGB 580xi remote interface: by using the AAP horizontal shift (H. shift) control, or by using an RS-232 remote control device.

RS-232 Programmer’s Guide

The interface can be remotely controlled via a host computer attached to the rear panel’s 3-pole captive screw RS-232 connector. A contact closure control system may also be used by connecting a contact closure device to the front panel’s female 5-pole captive screw connector. The protocol is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

RECONFIG RS-232 Programmer’s Guide

When the remote interface’s RGB video input is disconnected or the horizontal shift control (H. shift) is adjusted from the AAP device (RGB 580xi S/CCS AAP and RGB 580xi SI/CCSI AAP), the interface sends the reconfiguration message. No response is required from the RS-232 host, but the host may request a new status listing via the request information command (I/i). See the command/response table in this chapter for details.

Chn Error responses

A contact closure selection has been detected from the remote AAP contact closure switch (RGB 580xi I AAP and

RGB 580xi SI/CCSI AAP).

The RS-232 control device (host) can use either Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands or the graphical control program for Windows. RS-232 control software is included with the interface.

The rear panel’s RS-232 3-pole female connector has the following pin assignments:

Error responses

When the interface receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the interface is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.

The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows:

E10 – Invalid command

E13 – Invalid value (the number is out of range)

Using the command/response table

The command/response table lists valid command ASCII codes, the interface’s responses to the host, and a description of the

Host-to-interface communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When a command is valid, the interface executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All

command’s function or the results of executing the command. Lowercase characters are acceptable in the command field only where indicated. The ASCII to HEX conversion table below is for use with the command/response table.

responses from the interface to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = Using the command/response table ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Interface-initiated messages

When a local event such as a front panel or contact closure selection or adjustment takes place, the interface sends a message to the host. No response is required from the host. The interface-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).
