Scaler-initiated Messages When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the DVS 304 scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host.

  • Page 36: Copyright Information

    Error Responses When the DVS 304 receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the command contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.

    The Command and Response table for SIS commands later in this chapter lists the commands that the DVS 304 scaler recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the host, a description of the command’s function or the results of executing the command, and an example of each command in ASCII (Telnet) and URL Encoded (Web).
