3. Command Format
3.1. Command Format Overview
Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 | Byte 4 | Byte 5 | Byte 6 | Byte 7 | Byte 8 | … | Byte n |
LF | ID | Command | Data 1 | Data 2 | Data 3 | Data 4 | … | CR | |
The codes described here are transmitted in ASCII format (e.g. a command described as “23” is transmitted as ASCII ’2’ followed by ASCII ’3’).
Uppercase letters are used for letters ’A’ through ’F’.
All commands must be prefixed by a
Sample commands
Sample 1: PLAY command (Machine ID=0)
When the controlled device is in STOP/READY mode, this command starts playback. The PLAY command is [12], and it is transmitted using the following sequence:
|
| ID | Command |
| |
ASCII | LF | 0 | 1 | 2 | CR |
HEX | 0Ah | 30h | 31h | 32h | 0Dh |
Sample 2:Direct search for track 12 (Machine ID=0)
In order to perform this operation, “DIRECT TRACK SEARCH PRESET [23]” command is used. The track number is also sent as a parameter (data). This is sent in four bytes, as shown below:
|
| ID | Command |
| Data: | 12th track |
|
| ||||
ASCII | LF | 0 | 2 | 3 | 1 |
| 2 |
| 0 |
| 0 | CR |
HEX | 0Ah | 30h | 31h | 32h | 31h |
| 32h |
| 30h |
| 30h | 0Dh |
The four data bytes represent, in order, the following digits of the track number: the “tens” digit (1), the “units” digit (2), the “thousands” digit (0), and the “hundreds” digit (0).
3.2. Machine ID
Machine ID of this device is fixed to [0]. A command with other Machine ID than [0] is ignored.
