Serial Protocol Descriptions

TEN–XL ASCII Protocol

The TEN–XL ASCII protocol is one of two serial control protocols
(the other is modified SMPTE) used by the TEN–XL Series
Routing Switchers. If you are currently controlling a TEN–XL
using this protocol and wish to add or substitute a Performer, this
allows you to do so with no programming changes. Commands in
this protocol are 7 bit ASCII, the eighth bit is used for parity if
parity is configured or set to 0.

A Status Request command line consists

of a series of bytes in

the following format:

<STX>

<Dest Hi>

‘0’-’9’, destination high digit (30H-39H).
