The last byte (ä) consists of only one value.

ä= 0x84 = 132 132 - 132 = 0 = Idle

So, we know that the AEC on input 1 is in idle mode.

In the above description, the data in the BLDATA command consists of 13 bytes (4 input levels + 5 output levels + 1 AEC reference level + 1 room gain level + 1 AGC gain level + 1 AEC state). It is possible to tell the EF2211 to only send a subset of this information. There are two reasons you might want to do this. First, it makes parsing the data easier since you can ask for only the data that you are interested in. Second, when you decrease the amount of data being sent, the EF2211 can send the messages faster. This means that if you are trying to implement a signal level meter, you can get faster refresh rates by asking the EF2211 to only send the data you're interested in.

Suppose you were only interested in signal levels on inputs A-B. You could send the following command.

S01BLINFO0110000000000

In the above BLINFO command, there are 1's in the positions of the data that we want and 0's in the

positions of the data that we don't want. Now, when we send a BLDATA? command or enable BLAUTO, the Vortex sends messages of the form:

S01BLDATAii

Where the ii bytes are the signal levels for inputs A-B.

8.33.BLINFO -- Select Information to be Reported in

BLDATA

This command controls which bytes are sent in the BLDATA command. See the description of the BLDATA command for more information on the BLINFO command.

This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on preset.

8.34.BROAD2 -- Broadcast Arbitrary Command Strings to RS-232 Port

This command is used to broadcast arbitrary commands to the RS-232 port for controlling other devices (not necessarily other Vortex devices). For example, ' ' ' S01BROAD2:ATDT4048921180' ' '

would cause the Vortex to send out 'ATDT4048921180' via its RS-232 port. If a modem was connected to the RS-232 port, this command would cause the modem to dial the Polycom Installed
