SV-552 P3K Commands – Syntax 1

1 Syntax

With Kramer Protocol 3000 you can control a device from any standard terminal

software (for example, the Windows® HyperTerminal Application). This RS-232/RS-

485 communications protocol uses a data rate of 115,200 baud, no parity, 8 data

bits, and 1 stop bit.

1.1 Host Message Format

Start Address (opt) Body Delimiter

# Destination_id@ Message CR

1.1.1 Simple Command

Command string with only one command without addressing:

Start Body Delimiter

# Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,… CR

1.1.2 Command String

Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:

Start Address Body Delimiter

# Destination_id@ Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,…| Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,…| Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,…|

CR

1.2 Device Message Format


~ Sender_id@ Message CR LF

1.2.1 Device Long Response

Echoing command:


~ Sender_id@ Command SP [Param1,Param2 …] result CR LF

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)

LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)

SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)

2 SV-552 P3K Commands - Syntax

1.3 Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').

Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.

Parameters

A sequence of alphameric ASCII characters ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special

characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.

Message string

Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message

starting character and ends with a message closing character.

Note: A string can contain more than one command. Multiple commands are

separated by a pipe ('|') character.

Message starting character

'#' - For host command/query

'~' - For machine response or machine command performed by keystroke operation

on the front panel or IR remote controller.

Device address (Optional when directly connected to the device)

K-Net Device ID or MACHINE NUMBER followed by '@'

(ex. #02@CR LF )

Query sign

'?' follows some commands to define a query request.

All outputs sign

'*' defines all outputs.

Message closing character

CR - For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)

CR LF - For machine messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ('|') character

separates each command.

SV-552 P3K Commands – Syntax 3

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

1.4 Entering Commands

You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communication

software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial,

Ethernet, or USB port on the Kramer device. To enter CR, press the Enter key. (LF

is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).

For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers such as Crestron, some

characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

1.5 Bidirectional Definition

All commands are bidirectional. That is, if the device receives the code, it performs

the instruction. If the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the

front panel or IR controller) these codes are sent to the PC or other RS-232 /

Ethernet / USB controller.

1.6 Command Chaining

Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited

by a pipe character ('|'). When chaining commands, enter the message starting

character and the message closing character once only, at the beginning of the

string and at the end.

Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered. A

separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

1.7 Maximum String Length

64 characters

1.8 Backward Support

Protocol 2000 is transparently supported by Protocol 3000. You can switch between

protocols using a switch protocol command from either platform.
