5.6.3.3
System Identification (XR)
This command can be issued in order to obtain device information
<STX>XR<checksum><ETX>
i.e.
<STX>XRAA<ETX>
The device specific identification data is returned in the format
("
⌡
" and "
⌠
" are symbolizing that the two consecutive lines are actually one line)
<ACK><STX>XR:DEV<sp>SYSTEMTECHNIK,<model_number>,<model_type>,
⌡
⌠
<firmware_revision><checksum><ETX>
E.g. for a DEV 1953 with firmware revision G.01:
<ACK><STX>XR:DEV<sp>SYSTEMTECHNIK,DEV1953,16*AB-Switch,G.018C<ETX>
Note:
<sp>
denotes the "space" character.
5.6.3.4
Read Status of Signal Path (S or SA)
This is the command for the query of the switching status of the device
<STX>S<checksum><ETX>
i.e.
<STX>S53<ETX>
or
<STX>SA<checksum><ETX>
i.e.
<STX>SA94<ETX>
The device answer is a sequence of sixteen three digit numbers, each indicating to
which input port the corresponding output port is connected to
<ACK><STX>S:o

e.g. with all modules switched to the primary input port "

" (i.e.
001
):
<ACK><STX>S:001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,

e.g. with the first (i.e. installed) five modules switched to the
secondary input port "

" (i.e.
002
):
<ACK><STX>SA:002,002,002,002,002,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,001,

with:
o
1
= the input port number of the switch module in the first slot, either
001
: primary input port "
In A
" or
002
: secondary input port "
In B
";
(…)
o
16
= the input port number of the switch module in the sixteenth slot, either
001
: primary input port "
In A
" or
002
: secondary input port "
In B
".
Note:
It cannot directly be identified via Sandar Prosan protocol whether a slot is
empty or populated with a passive module or with a distribution amplifier
module.
