Original Specification |
The RDD-1580 supports an ASCII based RS232 protocol. The RS232 hardware does not support flow control so care needs to be take when sending and receiving data to avoid packet loss.
All commands sent to the attached Rotel device must have a terminating “!” character.
Example Command: power_on!
Note: Do not include any spaces in the command, and do not include a carriage return or line feed after the command, only the “!” terminating character.
Status information from the attached Rotel product with either have a terminating “!” character or a byte count for variable length text data that may include a “!” in the returned message. It is up to the sending/receiving control application to properly parse and process the packets.
Note: The byte count only includes the text data and not the length or “,” character.
