SIS Commands

You can use SIS commands to configure and control the Quantum Ultra via a host
computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel Remote
RS-232 connector, LAN A or B port, or USB Config connector. Enter commands
using a host communication application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at
www.extron.com
uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the Quantum Ultra determines that
a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the Quantum Ultra to the host end with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF = ] ), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more
characters).
