nRepeater control command
RepeatercontrolisachievedbysettingtheFOURTH
CHARACTERoftheparameterto“+”.
Example:
VOLM030+ ← Setsvolumeofallmonitorsto30.
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the
connected monitors.
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a
specicset,assignIDnumberstoeachmonitorinadvance.
Whensomemonitorsdonotreturntheirresponses,the
probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the
commandorcommandprocessingisnotcomplete.Donot
send a new command.
Example: (When4monitorsareconnected,and
assignedIDnumbers:1through4)
VOLM030+
WAIT
OK 001
OK 002
OK 003
OK 004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in
a chain, reliable operation can
be ensured by sending a new
command only after a reply
hasbeenreturnedby4th(last)
monitor.
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.
Example:
VOLM???+
WAIT
10 001
