SIS Configuration and
Control
The scaler can be configured and controlled with Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
commands when connected to a host computer or other device (such as a control system).
Attach the host device to the rear panel RS-232 connector, the LAN port, or the front
panel USB port. Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron
DataViewer, available at
This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics in this section include:

The scaler uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control (see
RS-232 Connector

Host and Scaler Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the scaler determines that a command
is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses
from the scaler to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =
the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Scaler-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the scaler
responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Example
scaler-initiated messages are listed here.
