SIS Communication
and Control
The DVS 605 can be configured and controlled via a host computer or other device (such
as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector, the LAN port, or the front
panel USB port. Control is made using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) of commands,
or the DVS Web pages.
Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer,
available at
This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics that are covered include:
•

•
The scaler uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control on the
rear panel RS-232 captive screw connector.

Host to Scaler Communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DVS 605 determines that a
command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the scaler to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Scaler-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the
DVS 605 scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from
the host. Example scaler-initiated messages are listed here.
