7. Programmers' Reference
Below example shows a command that resulted batch switching:
One by one Commands
→ {02@01}
← (O01 I02)CrLf
→ {05@04}
← (O04 I05)CrLf
The below example shows a command that did not result batch switching because another command has
been inserted:
One by one Commands
→ {02@01}
← (O01 I02)CrLf
→ {+06}
← (0MT06)CrLf
→ {05@04}
← (O04 I05)CrLf
7.2. Switching and Control Commands
7.2.1. Switching an Input to an Output
Description: Switch input <in> to output <out>.
Format
Command {<in>@<out>}
Response (O<out²>●I<in²>)CrLf
Explanation 1: Input 1 is switched to output 5.
7.2.2. Switching an Input to All Outputs
Description: Switch input <in> to all outputs.
Format
Command {<in>@O}
Response (I<in²>●ALL)CrLf
Explanation: Input 2 is switched to all outputs.
ATTENTION: The response for this command does not show if any of the outputs are muted. To check the
mute status a separate query has to be used.
ATTENTION: The response for this command does not show if there were some locked outputs which
cannot be switched.

7.2.3. Querying the I/O Connections
Description: Viewing all outputs' connection results in different response length, because it depends on the
number of I/O ports. The response below supposes a matrix having 17 outputs.
Format
Command {VC}
Response (ALL●<O1>●<O2>●<O3>●<O4>●<O5>●
<O6>●<O7> ●<O8>●<O9>●<O10> ●
<O11>●<O121>●<O13>●<O14>●<O15>●
<O16>)CrLf
Legend 1: All <Ox> indexes show the corresponding output's connection state. If value <O5> equals 04 it
means that output 5 is connected to input 4. All <Ox> indexes are two digit ASCII characters (01, 02, 04, etc.).
Explanation 1: Viewing connection for all outputs. Input 2 is connected to outputs 1, 2 and 3. Input 5 is
connected to outputs 4, 5 and 6. Input 8 is connected to outputs 7 through 16.
ATTENTION! If an output is locked, muted, or both locked and muted, the response format changes. If
outputs are muted you get a letter 'M', if locked a letter 'L' and if muted and locked at the same time 'U'
before the 2 digit numbers.
Format
Command {VC}
Response (ALL●<O1>●<O2>●<O3>●<O4>●<O5>●
<O6>●<O7> ●<O8>●<O9>●<O10>●
<O11>●<O121>●<O13> <O14>●<O15>●
<O16>)CrLf
Legend 2: Any <Ox> indexes can be a two digit number, or there can be a leading character showing the mute
and/or lock state for the corresponding output.
Index Legend
<Ox> <in²>
<Ox> M<in²> <Ox> is connected to <in²>, <Ox> is muted, and unlocked.
<Ox> L<in²>
<Ox> U<in²>
Explanation 2: Viewing connection for all outputs. Input 2 is connected to outputs 1, 2 and 3. Output 1 is
muted. Output 2 is locked. Output 3 is muted and locked. Input 5 is connected to outputs 4, 5 and 6. Input 8
is connected to outputs 7 through 16.
Example 1
→ {vc}
← (ALL 02 02 02 05 05 05 08 08 08 08 08 08 08
08 08 08)CrLf
Example 2
→ {vc}
← (ALL M02 L02 U02 05 05 05 08 08 08 08 08 08
08 08 08 08)CrLf
Explanation
<Ox> is connected to <in²>, <Ox> neither muted nor locked.
<Ox> is connected to <in²>, <Ox> is not muted, but locked.
<Ox> is connected to <in²>, <Ox> is muted and locked.
