RS-232 Mode

The MatrixPRO 8x8 DVI Router will respond with a “#” prompt when the command 
processor is ready for a command.  The command syntax is shown below

cmd arg1 arg2 … argn<CR>  

Please note:

A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments 
that follow.  A space must also be inserted between all argument parameters, 
except for the last argument in the chain.

All commands in RS-232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 
13).  The carriage return will tell the command processor to begin execution of the 
command.

Query commands will return the following:

=result

#

The “=” indicates that a result from a query command is following.  The “result” will 
follow directly after the “=”.  The value of the result will vary depending on the 
query command used.  A new line will be generated and the prompt (#) will 
indicate the system is ready for a new command.
