macroti (macro title)

This command may be used as a query to read the title
of a macro, or as an update to set the title. The macro is
specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must
be in the range 1 to 128. The data type is string, with a
limit of 30 characters.
Note: String arguments in commands need to be
passed in quoted form, contained in a pair of
double-quote (") characters. A problem arises
when using the macroti command to read or write
a string that already contains double-quote
characters, for example: The "Hula" Room. The
solution is to escape the double quotes within The
"Hula" Room so that it can be passed as a string
argument for the macroti command. This is done
by preceding the double-quote characters with a
backslash character like this: The \"Hula\" Room.
Now it can be passed as a string argument to the
macroti command: macroti(1,1)="The \"Hula\"
Room". Since the backslash serves as the escape
character in quoted-string arguments, it too must
be escaped if it is part of the string, so "foo\bar"
would become "foo\\bar" .
Examples:

QUERY
macroti(1)?<CR>
UPDATE
macroti(12)="
Setup #3 West
"<CR>

mode (Master/Slave mode)

This command may be used as a query to determine if
the DM84 is operating as a Master or as a Slave. It may
also be used as an update to set the mode. Updates do
not take effect until power is cycled on the device. The
data type is integer, either "1" meaning Master mode, or
"0" meaning Slave mode.
Examples:
REQUEST
QUERY
mode?<CR>
UPDATE
mode=0<CR>

OK "Sidebar nbr

predesc (preset description)

This command may be used as a query to read the
user defined preset description. It may also be used as
an update to set the description. The data is a string
type, with a limit of 60 characters.
Note: String arguments in commands need to be
passed in quoted form, contained in a pair of
double-quote (") characters. A problem arises
when using the desc command to read or write a
string that already contains double-quote
characters, for example: The "Basic" setup. The
solution is to escape the double quotes within The
"Basic" setup so that it can be passed as a string
argument for the desc command. This is done by
preceding the double-quote characters with a
backslash character like this: The \"Basic\" setup.
Now it can be passed as a string argument to the
desc command: desc="The \"Basic\" setup". Since
the backslash serves as the escape character in
quoted-string arguments, it too must be escaped if
it is part of the string, so "foo\bar" would become
"foo\\bar"
Examples:
REQUEST
QUERY
predesc?<CR>
UPDATE
predesc="Weekly
Rotary Club
breakfast
meeting."
<CR>

premsk (default preset mask)

This command may be used as a query to determine
the default preset mask in effect. It may also be used as
an update to set the default mask. The preset mask is a
number which determines whether or not certain mute
and rear panel gain settings are preserved or overwrit-
ten when a preset recall occurs. The default mask is in
effect unless overridden by the recall command. The
data is an integer type formed by adding together one
or more of the following values:
1 to preserve input channel rear panel gain settings
2 to preserve input channel mute settings
4 to preserve output channel rear panel gain settings
8 to preserve output channel mute settings
16 to preserve the state of programmable inputs
32 to preserve programmable input function definitions
For instance, to preserve input and output mutes on
preset recalls, but not the rear panel gains, the mask
value would be calculated as 2 + 8 = 10. A value of 0
means that the preset recall is "hard", with all mutes
and rear panel gains overwritten by the values con-
tained in the newly active preset.
