Command List - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Note: Get Action Acknowledgment
When a parameter command is executed with the get action, the acknowledgment
is only sent to the control interface that the parameter command was received from.
When a parameter command is executed with the set, inc, dec, or tog actions, then if the action results in
the parameter changing value, the acknowledgment is sent to all control interfaces on all devices, otherwise
(if the action doesn't change the value of the parameter) the acknowledgment is sent only to the control
interface that the parameter command was received on. When a parameter changes state for any reason
(for example, command execution, logic pin operations, etc.) an acknowledgment is sent to all interfaces on
all devices.
As an example, consider the fader command, and assume a Mic Input mono virtual channel has been
defined with the label "Microphone 1". Also assume the current value of the fader parameter for that channel
is 3. If a control program connected to any control interface of the SoundStructure device sends the
following command:
set fader "Microphone 1" 6.0
then the following acknowledgment will be generated,
val fader "Microphone 1" 6.0
This acknowledgment will be sent to all control interfaces on all SoundStructure devices. Now, if the control
program sends this command:
get fader "Microphone 1"
then the following acknowledgment will be generated,
val fader "Microphone 1" 6.0
but this acknowledgment will only be sent to the specific device and control interface that the control
program is communicating through.
This implementation of the command protocol has been designed with these frugal acknowledgments
because some control systems have limited buffer sizes that are susceptible to buffer overflows when large
amounts of data traffic are generated that the particular control port didn't request.

The complete system parameter command reference is found in the file SoundStructure-parameters.html
on the CDROM and may also be found by browsing in the SoundStructure device's web interface by pointing
a browser at the IP address of the SoundStructure device.
