features, and other items.
To use the DCP/XML feature, connect the system in the serial configuration as shown in
Figure 36. The PC or laptop must have a serial communication program installed like HyperTerminal.
Configure the communication program for the following:
• Transfer rate – 57600 Baud
• Data Bits – 8
• No parity
• Stop Bit – 1
• No flow control
Connect to QuadraVista and send the DCP/XML text message containing the controlling script. A simple
example of sending a DCP/XML text message that will switch ports is shown below.
Tabbed spacing in the below example is for readability only; the actual text file does not need the spacing.
<dcp-xml>
<device>
<mode>
<console>
<channel>0</channel>
</console>
<video>
<channel>0</channel>
</video>
</mode>
</device>
</dcp-xml>
This example switches the console and video to channel 0
Note: DCP/XML channel 0 = QuadraVista channel 1
DCP/XML channel 1 = QuadraVista channel 2
DCP/XML channel 2 = QuadraVista channel 3
DCP/XML channel 3 = QuadraVista channel 4
An example of a DCP/XML message containing all defined elements is shown below:
<dcp-xml>

<version>
<dcp-protocol>1.0</dcp-protocol>
<hardware>32</hardware>
