Command Format - Tascam DV-RA1000HD Specification

3. Command Format

Command Format Overview
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3
LF ID
The codes described here are transmitted in ASCII format (e.g. a command described as "23" is transmitted
as ASCII '2' followed by ASCII '3').
Uppercase letters are used for letters 'A' through 'F'.
All commands must be prefixed by a line-feed (LF) character [0Ah] followed by a Machine ID.
All commands are terminated by a carriage return (CR) character [0Dh].
Sample commands
Sample 1: PLAY command (Machine ID=0)
When the controlled device is in STOP/READY mode, this command starts playback.
The PLAY command is [12], and it is transmitted using the following sequence:
ID
ASCII LF
HEX 0Ah 30h
Sample 2: Direct search for track 12 (Machine ID=0)
In order to perform this operation, "DIRECT TRACK SEARCH PRESET [23]" command is used.
The track number is also sent as a parameter (data). This is sent in four bytes, as shown below:
ID
ASCII LF 0
HEX 0Ah 30h
The four data bytes represent, in order, the following digits of the track number: the "tens" digit
(1), the "units" digit (2), the "thousands" digit (0), and the "hundreds" digit (0).
Machine ID
Machine ID of this device is fixed to [0]. A command with other Machine ID than [0] is ignored.
