14 Kramer Protocol
By default, the VP-8x4AK is set to protocol 3000 (see Section 14.2 ) but is
also compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000

14.3 (see Section ). Section
14.1 describes how to switch between protocol 3000 and protocol 2000.
14.1 Switching Protocols
You can switch protocols either via the front panel buttons (see Section
14.1.1 ) or the protocol commands (see Section 14.1.2 ).
14.1.1 Switching Protocols via the Front Panel Buttons

14.1.2 Switching Protocols via Protocol Commands
To switch from protocol 3000 to protocol 2000, send the following command:
#P2000<CR>
To switch from protocol 2000 to protocol 3000, send the following command:
0x38, 0x80, 0x83, 0x81
The Windows®-based Kramer control software

14.2 Kramer Protocol 3000
operates with protocol 2000. If
the VP-8x4AK is set to protocol 3000, it is automatically switched to protocol
2000.
This RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol lets you control the machine
from any standard terminal software (for example, Windows®
HyperTerminal Application) and uses a data rate of 115200 baud, with no
parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
