NOTE: If required by the external device, a terminating character is placed in the [#] sub tag. The scheduler
supports both Line Feed and Carriage Return 0A (LF) and 0D (CR) codes.

The Command String must be bracketed with the < CommandString > </ CommandString > tags.

NOTE: Any of the MS9400 Remote Control Protocol commands may be used in the Command String code line.
For example:

<CommandString>Load Playlist 1 “playlistname”</CommandString>.

Refer to Chapter 6: Remote Control Protocols for a list of supported commands.
