RS232 Information

JMB v 1.2 – 15th Mar 2004

Meridian G68 RS232 Interface.

The RS232 interface for the G68 can be operated from any terminal which operates at 9600 baud with 1
start bit, 1 stop bit and no parity. Commands take the form of 2 ASCII characters, in some cases followed
by a signed argument (‘nn’ below). All characters are echoed by the processor. A carriage return
character will execute the command, and backspace is also implemented. When a command is executed,
the G68 will return 20 characters.

The following table lists the commands available and shows examples of the messages returned. These
always correspond to the display on the front panel.
