This is a required field that specifies the action for the command. The requirements for the format of this
field are given previously. The action must be one of the following values:
Actions and Values
Action Description
get get the current value of the parameter
set set the current value of the parameter; requires the value as an argument
inc increment the current value; requires the value to increment by as an argument
dec decrement the current value; requires the value to decrement by as an argument tog toggles the
state of the current value; only applicable to Boolean commands
tog toggles the current value of the boolean parameter
ping does not affect any parameter, just checks that the system is accessible
run runs a preset or partial preset
authenticate logs in to a system that requires authentication. The first parameter to the authenticate action
must be the name "admin" and the second parameter is the password.
<param>
This is a system-defined text argument that specifies the name of the parameter on which to operate.
<limit>
Some parameters support user-definable minimum and maximum values. For these commands, the <limit>
argument can be specified. The <limit> argument is a system-defined text argument and can be one of the
following values:
Limits and Values
Limit Description
min operate on the minimum limit for the parameter
max operate on the maximum limit for the parameter
The behavior of a command when it reaches its minimum or maximum is determined by the parameter type
as described previously. This is typically used with the fader parameter.
<chan>
Commands that operate on virtual channels may require one or more channel arguments to define the
channel on which to operate. Specifically, system commands require zero or one channel arguments, virtual
channel commands require one channel argument, and matrix commands require two channel arguments.
For example, the fader virtual channel command requires that a virtual channel or virtual channel group be
specified.
<index>
Parameters may be multi-dimensional while most parameters are scalar. For example, the gain parameter
is scalar, meaning that there is one value for each physical or virtual channel. An example of a
one-dimensional parameter is the parametric EQ gain parameter. There are multiple bands of parametric
