Preset Command Messages
These commands control the position presets and some of the operational parameters of the pan/tilt platform. Byte number 1 is the
start of message "F8", byte number 2 is the device address (default = 01), and byte number five is the message terminator byte.
Note that preset 63 is reserved for another function; this preset number is used in the commands "P""?" and "H""?".

Address Assignment Message**
This six-byte command sets the address of the dome. The address is in hexadecimal and is contained in bytes 4 and 5. If the ad-
dress is set to FFH, then the unit derives its address from the dipswitch. Byte number 1 is the start of message "F8", byte number 2
is the device address (default = 01), and byte number six is the message terminator byte.
FUNCTION
