NV3128 RS-422A Machine Control Data Routing Switch 3-6
3.2.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - NVTAKE (OBSOLETE)
INVOCATION:
NVTAKE [H | U | V | E | R] [1|2] [9600|38400]
Where argument 1 is the router control protocol from the following list:
H = Horiz on control protocol
U = Utah Scientific
V = Vistek
E = ESBus
R = BTS
and argument 2 is the communications port, default = COM1. Argument 3
is the serial ports’s baud rate. Default = 9600 Invoking NVTAKE with no
arguments displays the program’s syntax summary.
Figure 3.1 illustrates the basic NVTake screen.
OPERATIONS
The various functions of the program are invoked with function keys from
the following list:
F1
Send a single take
F2 Send a salvo of takes
F3 Change to level to which the controller sends commands
F4 Query a single crosspoint (Vistek protocol only)
F5 List 10 sequential crosspoint connections. (Vistek protocol only)
F6 List all destinations connected to a single source. (Vistek protocol only)
F3 CHANGE ROUTER LEVEL
The F3 function key allows changing the level to which the controller’s
commands are issued. The level IDs of most routing protocols are
numeric. Vistek uses the alpha characters A-Z. Again, point-to-point
connections are addressed on level one. Connections involving multiple
destinations are addressed on level two.
