Kramer Protocol 2000 Kramer Protocol 2000 This RS-232 communication protocol uses four bytes of information as defined below. The default data rate is 9600 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. Table 5: Protocol Definitions DESTI-...
NOTE 14 - The number of inputs and outputs refers to the specific machine which is being addressed, not to the system. For example, if six 16X16 matrices are configured to make a 48X32 system (48 inputs, 32 outputs), the reply to the HEX code 82 (ie. request the number of outputs) would be HEX codes ie. 16 outputs KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY...
