EDID Minder

Managing EDID

Factory Loaded EDID

EDID Minder ensures that each source connected to an input sees the EDID of a display, even when that source is not selected for a display.

Depending on the selected EDID mode, the DXP PLUS can store the EDID of the connected display automatically (default), or you can manually select a factory EDID file from a predetermined list. This EDID file is written to a file located at each selected input within the supported video group. All inputs support unique EDID emulation, HDCP, and HDCP Authorization enabling or disabling.

You can manage EDID files using PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help file). You can also select and import EDID files using SIS commands (see the EDID Commands on page93). (EDID cannot be managed via the front panel.)

The factory loaded EDID stored on the unit are taken from the Extron EDID Standards Folder, which is created on the DXP PLUS by PCS. You can choose an EDID file from the folder link via PCS or SIS commands. The HDMI inputs support digital Extron EDID files that are 2 blocks or 256 bytes. The second block contains audio information. The HDMI EDID support 2-channel PCM audio. The default Extron factory EDID file 1080p @ 60 Hz.

Assigned Output EDID

The DXP PLUS has four or eight memory slots, depending on the model, for the EDID of the display connected to the output of the matrix switcher.

The unit automatically saves EDID information from the HDMI outputs whenever an output is connected. The EDID information is saved until a new display or device is detected, and the new EDID information overwrites the previous one. The EDID of each output is saved and made available to any input slot. Assigned output EDID can be directly assigned to any input via PCS.

Input connectors — Connect HDMI source devices (or DVI sources with the

appropriate adapters) to these female type A HDMI input connectors.

LockIt cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the DXP PLUS. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the DXP PLUS connectors to reduce stress on the HDMI connectors and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections.

For information on attaching the LockIt brackets, see Securing the HDMI Connectors

Using the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket on page18).

Output connectors — Connect HDMI output devices (or DVI devices with the

appropriate adapters) to these female type A HDMI output connectors for buffered video output. See Securing the HDMI Connectors Using the LockIt HDMI Cable

Lacing Bracket to attach the brackets.

Reset and power LED — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) This green

LED remains lit while the DXP PLUS has power. While the Reset button (D) is being pressed and held, this LED blinks every 3 seconds to indicate the level of reset that is initiated if the button is released at that point (see Resetting on page55 for more information).

NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been

set to the device serial number.

Performing a unit factory reset by entering an E ZQQQ } SIS command (see page 60) or a reset mode 5 (see page 40) via the rear panel Reset button removes the serial number passwords, leaving the unit with no password.

Reset button — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) This recessed button

initiates four levels (modes) of reset on the DXP PLUS switcher. To initiate the different reset levels, use a pointed object such as a small Philips screwdriver or a stylus to press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while it is being powered up (see

Resetting).

Remote RS-232 port — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touchpanel

control, to the switcher via this 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector for serial RS-232 control.

Connect the 9-pin connector end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port of your computer or control system (see Connecting to the Remote RS-232 Port on page17 for more information).

LAN port — Connect the DXP PLUS switcher to a computer, a network switch, or

a control system via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a computer to configure and control the networked switcher with SIS commands, the PCS configuration software, or the HTML page that is embedded on the switcher (see Connecting to the LAN Port on page14).

Ethernet connection indicators — The green and amber LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The green (link) LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily. The amber (activity) LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

The default Ethernet settings are:

IP address — 192.168.254.254 Subnet mask — 255.255.0.0 Gateway address — 0.0.0.0

Connecting to the LAN Port

Insert T

Crossover Cable Straight-through Cable

When connecting a computer to the DXP PLUS LAN port, it is essential that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout (see figure8). Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 m).

NOTES:

• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet

or Fast Ethernet.

• Do not stretch or bend the cables, as this can cause transmission errors.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a crossover or a straight-through cable.

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the

DXP PLUS switcher

• Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the DXP PLUS to a network via a

network switch

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Installation 14

Connecting Power to the DXP 42 HD 4K PLUS

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. The wires must be kept separate while the power

supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

ATTENTION : Risque de choc électrique. Les deux cordons d’alimentation

doivent être tenus à l’écart l’un de l’autre quand l’alimentation est branchée. Couper l’alimentation avant de faire l’installation électrique.

ATTENTION:

• The power supply must not be permanently ﬁxed to the building structure or

similar structures.

• La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être ﬁxée de façon permanente à une

structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.

• Do not place the power supply within environmental air handling spaces or the

wall cavity.

• Ne pas placer les sources d’alimentation dans une zone de traitement de l’air ni

dans une cavité murale.

• The installation must be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 16.

• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique

au National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16.

• Use a UL Listed external power supply with rated output 12 VDC, minimum

0.5 A, NEC Class 2, or LPS output.

• Utilisez une source d’alimentation externe certiﬁée UL, avec une tension

nominale 12 Vcc, 0,5 A minmum, NEC Class 2, ou sortie LPS.

• The power supply must be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV

processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to a podium, a desk, or an equipment rack within a dedicated closet.

• La source d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement audiovisuel

Extron dans un emplacement habituel, avec un degré de pollution 2, ﬁxée à une estrade, un bureau, ou dans une baie technique à l’intérieur d’un placard dédié.

• Always use a power supply speciﬁed by Extron for the HD CTL 100. Use of an

unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certiﬁcation and may cause damage to the supply and the HD CTL 100.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.

L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit ﬁnal.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Installation 16

Connect the provided 12 VDC, 0.5 A power supply to the HD CTL 100 as follows:

(1.5 A, 12 VDC)

1. Wire one of the supplied orange 2-pole captive screw connectors as shown below.

Smooth

SECTION A–A

3/16” (5 mm) Max.

Figure 10. Wiring the Power Connector

ATTENTION:

• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. UL

listed junction boxes are recommended.

• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé

uniquement. Des boîtiers électriques approuvés UL sont recommandés.

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal

length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If they are any longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If they are any shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de

les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

2. Plug the connector into the orange 2-pole captive screw power connector on the rear

panel. In the example shown in figure 10, a power supply is being connected to the power connector of an HD CTL 100.

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it

fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel

elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connectors and the bracket (4).

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap,

then remove any excess length (5).

Definitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron digital matrix switchers, are used in this guide:

• Tie — An input-to-output connection

• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to

more than one input.)

• Configuration — One or more ties or sets of ties

• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also

called configuration 0)

• EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) — Resolution, refresh rate, pixel clock,

and audio channel configuration information for a display device. This information is stored in memory at system power-up and each time a new display device is connected. The EDID is then made available to be assigned to any input. This feature is available only through PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help File).

• Global preset — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) A configuration that has

been stored, consisting of a complete map of all input and output connections. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. The DXP HD 4K PLUS can store up to 16 global presets in memory.

• Room — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) A subset of outputs that are

logically related to each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of 1 to 16 outputs. Each room can have up to 10 presets.

• Room preset — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) A configuration consisting

of outputs in a single room that has been stored. When a room preset is recalled from memory, it becomes the current configuration for the outputs assigned to that room only (none of the other outputs are affected). Room presets can be saved and recalled only via SIS commands or the PCS software.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Operation 19

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

All DXP HD 4K PLUS switchers have input and output buttons. Depending on the operation, the button LEDs blink or light steadily when the button is pressed. The front panel buttons may have multiple functions, which are classified as primary and secondary.

Front Panel Buttons and LEDs

• DXP 168 and 1616 PLUS — The front panel buttons are tricolor and have internal

LEDs that can light green if video has been selected for the associated input, red if audio has been selected, or amber if both video and audio have been selected. Both of these models have 16 input and 16 output buttons, regardless of the number of rear panel output connectors they have.

• DXP 44, 84, and 88 PLUS — At the right of each button is an LED that lights to

indicate the button status or current function. The button LEDs are bicolor and light green if video has been selected for the associated input or red if audio has been selected. The DXP 44, 84, and 88 PLUS all have eight input buttons and output buttons, regardless of the number of rear panel connectors. The front panels also contain HDCP and signal status LEDs, which indicate the encryption status and signal presence for each input.

NOTE: Although the DXP 44 and 84 both have eight input and eight output

buttons, not all these buttons are functional for making ties:

• DXP HD 4K PLUS 44 — Only input and output buttons 1 through 4 are

functional, except for creating and recalling presets (see Saving and Recalling

Presets on page42).

• DXP HD 4K PLUS 84 — All input buttons are enabled, but only output

buttons 1 through 4 are functional, except for creating and recalling presets.

When the DXP 44, 84, or 88 switcher is in power-save mode 1 or 2 (see the commands for Power Save Mode on page84), all front-panel indicators are unlit with the exception of the I/O Video LED, which blinks continuously.

• DXP 42 PLUS — The DXP 42 PLUS front panel has four input buttons and two output

buttons. To the right of each button is a green LED that lights when the button is pressed. After approximately 5 seconds, the LED turns off. If a button is pressed for an input with ties to another input, the buttons for all tied inputs light as well.

See figure12 (DXP 1616 and 168), figure13 (DXP 44, 84, and 88), and figure14 (DXP 42) on the next page for diagrams of the rear panels of all models.

NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been

set to the device serial number.

Powering On

Performing a unit factory reset (entering an E ZQQQ } SIS command or a mode 5 reset via the rear panel Reset button) removes the serial number passwords, leaving the unit with no password.

Apply power as follows:

• DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS — Connect the provided IEC power cord to the

rear panel IEC connector (figure4, I, on page 10, or figure5, I, on page 11) and to an AC source.

• DXP 42 PLUS — Connect the provided 12 V, 1.5 A power supply to the rear panel

2-pole captive screw connector (see figure6, I, on page 11).

Self-test

When power is applied to the DXP PLUS, the switcher performs a self-test as follows:

• DXP 168 and 1616 PLUS — The front panel buttons blink green, red, and amber,

then turn off. A self-test is performed, during which the buttons light green in order in a clockwise circling pattern. An error-free power-up self-test sequence leaves all I/O and Control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Operation 25

• DXP 44, 84, and 88 PLUS — The front panel input, output, and I/O button LEDs blink

red, then green, while the control button LEDs blink green. All LEDs turn off except the I/O LEDs, which light steadily red for several seconds. The I/O LEDs remain lit red while a self-test is performed, during which the green Input Signal and HDCP LEDs also light in order in a clockwise circling pattern. If error-free, the self-test ends with only one of the I/O LEDs lit, reflecting the previous selection of audio or video. If an error occurs during the self-test, the DXP PLUS locks up and does not operate. If this occurs, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the last page of this guide for contact information in your area).

• DXP 42 PLUS — All the front panel button LEDs blink. After the power up sequence is

completed, the button LEDs turn off. The Signal and HDCP LEDs light according to the current state of each input.

DXP 88 PLUS series and DXP 1616 PLUS series: The current configuration, EDID information, and all presets are saved in memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact. The switcher powers up in full power mode (neither power save mode enabled).

If an error occurs during the self-test, the DXP PLUS locks up and does not operate. If this occurs, contact the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the last page of this guide for contact information in your area).

Creating or Changing a Configuration

A configuration consists of one or more inputs, each tied to a set of one or more outputs.

NOTE: While an input can be tied to multiple outputs, an output can be tied to only one

input.

• A tie is an input-to-output connection.

• A set of ties is an input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to

more than one input.)

• A configuration is one or more ties, one or more sets of ties, or a combination.

This section contains the steps to follow to create or change a configuration. The following subsections contain some examples of configurations that can be created on the DXP PLUS, and instructions for setting them up.

NOTE: For DXP 42 PLUS configuration procedures, see Creating Ties - DXP 42 on

page40 and Viewing ties - DXP 42 on page41 .

Creating Ties — DXP 42 PLUS

Ties can be made on the DXP 42 PLUS using the front panel buttons, SIS commands, or PCS. You can tie an input to one or more outputs.

NOTES:

• Audio ties can be made only with de-embedded audio.

• Only one input can be tied to any output. If you tie an input to an output that is

already tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

• If an input with no tie is selected, only the LED for the selected input lights (no

output LEDs light).

To make ties:

1. Press an input button on the front panel (see the illustration at right).

The LED next to it lights.

• If the selected input is already tied to one or more outputs, the

tied output LEDs light.

• If you press the tied output button, the output is disconnected

Analog audio ties

By default, audio ties cannot be made using the front panel buttons. However, front panel audio ties can be enabled using SIS commands or PCS (see Front Panel Audio Tie Mode on page91 or the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help File). The following audio tie modes are available:

• Only video is switched (default).

• Analog audio is switched along with the video:

• When an input is switched to output 1, analog audio output 3 is switched with it.

• When an input is switched to output 2, analog audio output 4 is switched with it.

A preset is a complete map of all input and output connections. The current configuration (0) can be saved as a preset in any one of 16 (DXP 44, 84, and 88 PLUS) or 32 (DXP 168 and 1616 PLUS) preset slots.

NOTE: Presets are not available on the DXP 42 HD 4K PLUS.

Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons, and each switcher has as many presets available from the front panel as it has input and output buttons. In addition, all presets can be saved and recalled from the PCS software and by SIS commands. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

NOTES:

• Presets cannot be viewed from the front panel unless recalled as the current

conﬁguration. Presets can be viewed using the PCS conﬁguration program (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help File for more details).

• The current conﬁguration and all presets are stored in non-volatile memory.

When power is removed and restored, the current conﬁguration is still active and all presets are retained.

• When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current conﬁguration, which is lost

unless it is also stored as a preset. The recalled preset overwrites all of the current conﬁguration ties in favor of the preset ties.

Saving a Preset — DXP 168 and 1616 PLUS

There are several methods by which you can reset the DXP PLUS, and some of these methods allow for four levels of resetting. The following reset methods are available on the DXP PLUS:

• Front panel buttons (see Resetting the System from the Front Panel) This method

is not available on the DXP 42 PLUS model.

• Front panel (DXP 42 PLUS) or rear panel (all other models) recessed Reset

button (see Resetting Using the Front or Rear Panel Reset Button on page57)

• SIS commands (see the Reset Commands on page84)

• PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help File)

NOTE: Entering the E ZQQQ } SIS command or performing a mode 5 reset via the

rear panel Reset button (see the Reset Modes Summary on page58) removes the current passwords (whether user-set or the factory-set serial number), leaving the unit with no password.

Resetting the System from the Front Panel

NOTE: Front panel button reset is not available on the DXP 42 PLUS.

A system reset (also known as a “hard reset”) does the following:

• Clears all ties and presets.

• Clears all video and audio setup and mutes.

NOTE: The system reset does not reset the Internet protocol (IP) settings or replace

user-installed firmware.

The front panel button reset is identical to the E ZXXX} SIS command (see the Reset

Commands).

SIS Configuration and Control

The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series can be configured and controlled with Extron Simple Instruction Set commands. This section describes the communication between a connected host and the DXP PLUS. Topics are:

• Connection Methods

• Host and Matrix Switcher Communication

• SIS Overview

• Command and Response Table - DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS

• Command and Response Table - DXP 42

Connection Methods

Attach the host device to one of the following connectors:

• Remote RS-232 connector (see figure4 (DXP 168 and 1616), figure5 (DXP 44, 84,

and 88), or figure6 (DXP 42), E on page 11)

• LAN connector (F)

• USB connector (see figure12 (DXP 168 and 1616), figure13 (DXP 44, 84, and 88), or

figure14 (DXP 42), A, on page 21)

Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com (see the DataViewer Help file for more details).

Host and Matrix Switcher Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string with no spaces. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Copyright Information

The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to a switcher via TCP/IP or Telnet or, after a power cycle, via RS-232, depending on the matrix switcher model.

20nn is the year.

DXP nn HD 4K Plus is the model name. Vn.nn is the firmware version number. 60-nnnn-nn is the model part number. Ddd, DD Mmm YYYY HH:MM:SS are Day, date, and time as in Mon, 17 Feb 2020 11:27:33)

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • SIS Configuration and Control 66

Device-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the matrix switcher responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Example switcher-initiated messages are listed here.

• ]

Password:

The ]Password: prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed by a carriage return. If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with

]Login Administrator ] or ] Login User], depending on the password

entered. If passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the switcher defaults to administrator privileges.

The password prompt is redisplayed if an incorrect password is entered.

NOTES:

• The factory configured passwords for all accounts on these devices have been

set to the device serial number. Passwords are case sensitive.

• Performing a unit factory reset (entering an E ZQQQ } SIS command or

a mode 5 reset via the rear panel Reset button) removes the serial number passwords, leaving the unit with no password.

• Qik]

The switcher initiates the Qik message when a front panel switching operation occurs.

• RprX1&]

The switcher initiates the Rpr message when a memory preset is recalled from the front panel. X1& is the preset number.

• SprX1&]

The switcher initiates the Spr message when a memory preset is saved from the front panel. X1& is the preset number.

• VmtX@*X1@]

The switcher initiates the Vmt message when a video output mute is toggled on or off from the front panel. X@ is the output number. X1@ is the video mute status (0 = off, 1 = on).

• AmtX@*X1#]

The switcher initiates the Amt message when an audio output mute is toggled on or off from the front panel. X@ is the output number. X1# is the mute status (0 = off, 1 = on).

• ExeX2)]

The switcher initiates the Exe message when the Front Panel Lockout mode is toggled on or off from the front panel. X2) is the lock mode (0 = off, 1 = view only, 2 = basic mode only)

• HplgOX@ ]

The switcher initiates the HplgO message when a hot plug event is detected on an output (for example, if the display is disconnected from the unit). X@ is the output number.

• Reconfig]

The switcher sends this response upon any change of input frequency on the currently selected input or inputs.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • SIS Configuration and Control 67

Error Responses

When the switcher receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host.

Error codes

E01 — Invalid input number

E10 — Invalid command

E11 — Invalid preset number

E12 — Invalid output number

E13 — Invalid parameter

E14 — Not valid for this configuration

E17 — Invalid command for signal type

E18 — System or command timed out

E21 — Invalid room number

E22 — Busy

E24 — Privilege violation

E25 — Device not present

E26 — Maximum number of connections

exceeded

E27 — Invalid event number

E28 — Bad filename or file not found

Error response references

These references in the command and response tables note particular error responses to that command. For example:

= Commands that give an E24 (privilege violation) error if not administrator level

Connection Timeouts

An Ethernet link disconnects after a designated period of no communications. By default, this timeout duration is 5 minutes (see Port timeout on page87 to change this value).

NOTE: Extron recommends periodically issuing query commands (see Information

Requests starting on page85) to keep the connection active. If there are long

idle periods, Extron recommends disconnecting and reopening the connection when another command must be sent.

Number of Connections

A DXP HD 4K PLUS Series switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all http and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize performance, keep the number of connections low and close unnecessary ones.

Using the Command and Response Tables

The Command and Response Tables, starting on page 75, list the commands that the switchers recognize as valid, the responses that are returned to the host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the command, and examples of commands in ASCII.

NOTE: Upper- and lowercase text can be used interchangeably unless otherwise

stated.

Verbose Mode

The connection to a DXP PLUS switcher can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from a TCP/IP connection or the RS-232 serial port. To receive change notices from the switcher, you must enable verbose mode 1 or 3 (see the Verbose Mode commands starting on page85). In verbose mode 1 or 3, changes are reported in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

X2#

= Verbose mode

NOTES:

• In verbose response mode, the DXP PLUS returns unsolicited

responses for value and setting changes that may result from a signal change, or a setting adjustment made via another interface.

Example: The DXP PLUS can send out a notice of a change in some setting without receiving a query via a PC or a control system. That change could have been a result of an internal process or a selection made via the PCS program. This is a verbose (wordy) relationship between the controller and a connected device.

• If tagged responses are enabled, all “view” commands return the

command string plus the data, the same as in responses for setting a value.

For example:

Command: X!*\ Response: VtypX!*
