RS-232C interface

1.Introduction

1)The VTR can be operated by commands when the RS-232C interface is used. (See command table on pages E-10E-12.)

2)Conditions for acknowledging commands from RS-232C interface

The front panel REMOTE/LOCAL switch must be at REMOTE.

The set-up menu item No.204 “RS232C SEL” must be ON.

If the above conditions are not met, [ACK] + [STX]ER001[ETX] is returned to the external unit. Whether the [ACK] code is returned depends on the setting which has been selected for set-up menu item No.209 “RETURN ACK.”
