General Overview

With serial remote control, a "host" machine (such as a PC running proper software) can be used to
operate your DN-700R. Throughout this document, the equipment used to control DN-700R will be
called the Host.
To learn more about the different types of serial communication and the code structure it requires, see
the Communication Protocol section that starts on the next page. To view the complete list of serial
command codes, see the Control Command Codes, Status Request Command Codes/Status
Information Codes, and Automatic Status Information Codes sections later in this manual.

your DN-700R to the corresponding output on the host.
