CueScript via Serial

CueServer allows external CueScript commands to be sent to it via RS-232 and/or RS-485 serial strings.
A serial port on CueServer is configured by going into the Stations section and then editing the Built-In
Station (Station 0). The serial ports available to CueServer will appear in the list of Ports.
Other external station types that include serial ports would also be configured by choosing them in the
Stations list and then clicking on one of the Ports that appears.
From the Port Configuration panel that appears there are two protocols that can be chosen that allow
CueScript commands to be sent to the CueServer via a serial port:
• CueScript in [Brackets]: When this protocol is chosen, a CueScript string can be sent to this serial
port as long as it is enclosed by "square brackets". For example,
received outside of the brackets will be ignored. After the opening bracket, the command is received
and buffered until a closing bracket is received. As soon as the closing bracket is received, the
command string is executed. If a command is being received and then another open-bracket is
received, then any accumulated characters in the receive buffer are cleared and a new string will
begin to be received.
• CueScript with CR/LF: When this protocol is chosen, a CueScript string can be sent to this serial
port with a terminating carriage-return (0×0D) and/or line-feed (0×0A). For example,
followed by either a 0×0D or 0×0A (or both) characters. All characters received on the serial port will
