Matrix Refresh Report Enable Addendum A RCP1 Protocol for UDS This addendum contains additional detail associated with serial interfacing; describing the basic commands supported for serial-to-router communications. Matrix Refresh Report Enable ASCII CODE HEX Command Code: ESC @ 1B, 40 Response: None The ESC @ sequence causes the System Controller to routinely report crosspoint information to the external computer.
RCP1 Protocol for UDS Matrix Change Report Enable ASCII CODE HEX Command Code: ESC B 1B, 42 Response: None The Matrix Change Report Function causes the controller to issue a status update whenever a change occurs in the Matrix Status. A change in status occurs when a Take is made resulting in a change to the status of the matrix.
Matrix Take Report Enable Matrix Take Report Enable ASCII CODE HEX Command Code: ESC D 1B, 44 Response: None The Matrix Take Report Function causes the controller to issue a status update, whenever a Take occurs, regardless of whether the Take changes the state of the matrix.
RCP1 Protocol for UDS The controller will respond with a report consisting of a sequence of status messages ordered by output number, with each message formatted as follows: STX OOOO <Matrix Input> <Matrix Output> <Checksum> CR The report is terminated by the system controller with the ASCII Code US (Hex 1F).
CALCULATE <Checksum> NOTE: This protocol allows control of routers with levels, for the UDS does not support levels, if any level is set, then the router will switch, use OO to make a take. Setting the level to none (use @@), will simply request status of the cross-point.
