The QSP-660 has a built in RS-232 serial interface that supports remote control of the QSP-660 through simple
ASCII commands. These commands provide access to the front panel button operations just as the IR Remote
Control does.
ASCII commands. These commands provide access to the front panel button operations just as the IR Remote
Control does.
The QSP-660 serial interface is fixed at 2400 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. It uses the very simple
command format:
command format:
<command> <return>
The command is 2 character or 2 character plus parameter and must be followed by a carriage return. The
QSP-660 will respond with:
QSP-660 will respond with:
>
if the command was recognized, or
?
if the command was not recognized or is invalid
The following commands are supported by the QSP-660 serial interface and behave just as if the indicated front
panel button was pushed:

Commands only take a fraction of a second to execute within the QSP-660. However, there must be a
delay of at least 0.3 seconds (300 milliseconds) between the carriage return and start of the next
command. The command decode prompt (

) may occur before the command has finished executing and
should not be used as an indication to send the next command.
For proper RS-232 operation, the 8 position DIP switch, SW 5, located next to the DB-9 RS-232 interface
connector within the QSP-660 must be set to the factory default positions as indicated below. The DB-9
connector pinout corresponds to a standard 9-pin DCE (modem) device.
