The matrix unit can be named.  Its name can be up to 10 characters long. 
To assign or retrieve a unit name: 

Command:

 NU<cr>     stands for Name Unit  

Response:  

xxxxxxxxxx (current name) 
Rename unit: ___________ 
No change<cr>    
If you hit <cr> or wait 5 seconds (command times out) the unit will respond with: 
Cancelled<cr> 
Otherwise you have 5 seconds to change the name by entering up to 10 ASCII 
characters followed by <cr>.  If you just send a <cr> then the stored name will not 
be changed.  If you enter more than 10 characters, then the 1

st

 10 characters will 

be saved as the name and the rest discarded. 
 

Video routing commands are specified from the point of view of the output. The 
wildcard character ‘*’ is acceptable for output (but not input). 
In addition, these commands can be used to monitor or query the status of system 
ties. Omitting the input channel will result in a response of the current routing for 
that output. In entering channel numbers leading zeros are acceptable hence you 
can specify channel 7 as 07 or just 7.
