String Interface 23
String Interface
The serial interface allows RS-232, UDP serial, and ACN string commands to be sent to the
console.
Enabling Serial
Receiving serial commands can be enabled in Setup, see Show Control Setup, page 5 . Serial is
disabled by default. If using RS-232 from an I/O gateway, you need to specify the ACN Serial Group
ID.
Serial Commands
All text will be queued up until either a carriage return (hex 0D), a “\r”, or a “#”, is encountered to
show the end of the command. The carriage return (hex 0D), a “\r”, or a “#” will act as the [Enter]
key for the command line. If the text begins with a “$”, the text that follows until the carriage return
(hex 0D), a “\r”, or a “#” will be sent to the command line for user 0 and processed as if that user
had typed it. Commands can be directed to a specific user command line by adding <UX> at the
beginning of the string. X= the user number.
For Example:
• $ Chan 1 Thru 10 At Full /r – sets channels 1 through 10 to full manually.
All other text that doesn’t start with a “$” will be sent to the console’s event handler. Here are a few
examples:
• Go 1 – fire playback 1
• Cue 1 2 – run cue 2 from list 1, on the appropriate fader
• Cue 1 – fire pending cue from list 2
• GoCue0 1 – clear playback 1 (fires cue 0)
• Release 1– release playback 1
• Off 1 – turn playback 1 off
• Resume 1 – resume playback 1
• Assert 1 – assert playback 1
• Stop 1 – stop playback 1
• Stop Cue 1 2 – stop cue 2 from list 1 if it is running
• Stop – stops all
• Resume Cue 1 2 –resume cue 2 from list 1 if it is stopped
• Resume – resumes all
• SubAssert 1 – assert submaster 1
• SubUnload 1– unload sub 1
• SubDown 5 - presses sub 5’s bump button down
• SubUp 5 – releases sub 5’s bump button
• SubMove 1 50 - sets sub 1 to 50
• PlaybackMove 1 50 - sets playback 1 to 50 percent
• Grandmaster 1 100 - set Grandmaster 1 to full (there’s currently only 1 Grandmaster)
• Macro 1 - fires Macro 1
