Command code. All the command codes are in ASCII code format as listed in the table below. The

transmission protocol is 8 data bit; 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and no parity. Four different speeds can be used, 1200

baud per second, 2400 baud, 4800 baud, and 9600 baud. The default setting is 2400 baud per second.

When only one device is controlled via RS-232 & RS-485 port from a host computer, the control command

codes should contain an “L0” to instruct the device to enter operation mode. Other command codes starting

with “L” are not necessary.

When a computer controls more than one device, use “LA” to instruct all devices to enter into stand-by mode.

Use “Lnnnn” to instruct a specific unit to enter into operation mode. “nnnn” represents the ID number of the

specific unit. Set the ID number for the device in the menu setup mode. (0 cannot be used for ID numbers)

Separation Code

A separation code is used to insert between two control command codes to ensure a proper operation. They

do not have any explicit function themselves. The following codes can be used as separation code:

Code Hexadecimal code

“TAB” (09h)

“LF” (0Ah)

“CR” (0Dh)

“SP” (20h)

“/” (2Fh)

Key Codes--

These codes are used to operate all the functions performed by the buttons on the front panel. These

Key codes are usually in a single code format. For non-capitalized Key Codes, no Separation code is

needed. They can be issued continuously. All Capitalized character Key codes will clear the alarm.

Control Command Codes

These Control Command codes are used to perform specific functions to control one or more than

one unit via the RS-232 & RS-485 ports from a host computer.

Page 79

? Status inquiry: This code is used to inquire the operating status of a specific unit in the

system. The addressed unit will response with a message code as follow: “〈SP〉﹕〈MODE〉〈STATUS〉〈CR〉〈LF〉” “ :SQ_2 S=0000000000000000 V=0000000000000000〈CR〉〈LF〉” “ :VR_PIP S=0000000000000000 V=0000000000000000〈CR〉〈LF〉” 〈MODE〉There are 8 different modes. VR VCR playback mode SQ Sequencer mode 4x4 4x4 display mode 3x3 3x3 display mode QD QUAD display mode PIP PIP display mode ZOOM 2XZoom display mode 1-16 Full screen mode displaying corresponding channel from 1 to 16 〈STATUS〉: THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF STATUS. THEY CAN BE DISPLAYED THROUGH FOLLOWING MESSAGE CODES: S=0000000000000000 Alarm sensor status of each input channel V=0000000000000000 Video loss status of each input channel THERE ARE 16 DIGITS FOLLOWING EACH DIFFERENT ALARM. EACH DIGIT REPRESENTS THE STATUS OF THE CORRESPONDING CHANNEL FROM 1 TO 16 ACCORDINGLY. A ”0” MEANS NORMAL OPERATING STATUS. A “1’ MEANS AN ACTIVATED/TRIGGED STATUS.

A? Alarm Records inquiry: This code is used to instruct a specific unit to display its alarm

records. The device will feed back a following message: “CH1 SENSOR 04-02-1997 SUN 08:10:15 AM〈CR〉〈LF〉” “CH3 V-LOSS 04-02-1997 SUN 10:56:47 AM〈CR〉〈LF〉” “CH4 V-LOSS 04-02-1997 SUN 10:57:02 AM〈CR〉〈LF〉” “CH1 V-LOSS 04-02-1997 SUN 11:03:34 AM〈CR〉〈LF〉” If the ID number of the unit is 0082, the device will response a following message. “0082-CH1 V-LOSS 04-02-1997 SUN 08:10:15 AM〈CR〉〈LF〉”

T? TIME INQUIRY: THIS COMMAND IS USED TO OBTAIN THE TIME/CLOCK INFORMATION

OF A SPECIFIC DEVICE. THE RESPONSE MESSAGE FROM THE DEVICE IS AS FOLLOWS: “〈SP〉=mm-dd-yy hr:min:sec〈TAB 〉” For example: “ =04-10-1999 SUN 08:00:00 PM〈TAB〉” Date information will be displayed in “mm-dd-yy” format for EIA/NTSC system and in “dd: mm: yy” format for CCIR/APL system. Every item is displayed in 2 digital decimal numbers.

T= Clock setting: This command is used to set the time/clock device. Please enter the

information according to above-mentioned format. “T=mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss” “T=dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss” “T=yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss” “T=mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm: ssA (P) M” “T=dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm: ssA (P) M” “T=yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm: ssA (P) M” Foe example: “T=07-04-1997 08:00:00AM”

L? ID number inquiry: This instruction is used to obtain the ID number of the unit, which can only

be assigned and programmed into any unit individually through the menu setup during installation. ID number code can be a 1 to 4 decimal digits except 0 for every digit： For example: “〈SP〉=nnnn〈SP〉” “= 0082”

Lnnnn/ This instruction is used to instruct a specific device, which is specified by the ID number. ID

number code can be a 1 to 4 decimal digits except 0 for every digit： For example: ”L082/” or “L82/”

APPENDIX 2. – Using CD Discs (FOR CD-ROM MODEL ONLY)

Please note that when using CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs, do not write or stick anything on the surface

as this could cause an error in recording or the data on the disc may be damaged.

Inserting Disc

1. Please press the eject button.

2. Please place the disc in the tray.

NOTE: When using a 12 cm disc please place it in the center of the caddy where you are able to see

the larger position specifically for the 12 cm disc. When using an 8 cm disc please place it in

the center of the caddy where you can see the position for the 8 cm disc. Please place the

printed side up. Never place two discs in the caddy at the same time.

3. Please do not touch the surface of the disc where it has been recorded.

4. To insert the caddy please press the insert / eject button and hold the caddy lightly at the middle of its front

and push gently to insert.

Ejecting The Disc

1. Press the eject button.

2. Carefully lift out the disc.

3. Press the eject button, or lightly touch the center of the tray and the tray will automatically reenter its

position within the CD - RW recorder.

Caution: After the tray has been ejected and the disc has been retrieved from the caddy or put in the

caddy, insert the tray in its original position to avoid the accumulation of dust or

miscellaneous items inside the caddy, or else the pick up head may be affected when it

needs to remain clean for effective reading of the data.

Page 81

Emergency Eject Button

The device has an emergency eject button, which allows for manual retrieval of the disc in case the machine
