Termination: all commands are terminated with an ASCII carriage return character (hex code 0x0D), represented by <CR> in the examples below. All responses are terminated with an ASCII carriage return, line feed pair (hex codes 0x0D, 0x0A), represented by <CRLF> in the examples below. An ellipsis (...) represents members of an array that have been omitted from an example for the sake of brevity.

Verbose response: commands prefixed with an exclamation point (bang) character result in a "verbose" response containing the name of the property or action being addressed, along with the current values of the property in question. Property values are always returned in the "assignment" form, for example outmt(2)=1. This supports certain 3rd party control programming styles where the response to all responses needs to be self-describing and/or contain current property values.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
COMMAND	!store(3)<CR>	OK store(3)<CRLF>
COMMAND	!run={1,3,5}<CR>	OK run={1,3,5}<CRLF>
QUERY	!outgn(3)?<CR>	OK outgn(3)=0<CRLF>
QUERY	!outmt(*)?<CR>	OK outmt(*)={0,1,1,0}<CRLF>
UPDATE	!ingn(3)=0<CR>	OK ingn(3)=0<CRLF>
UPDATE	!outmt(*)={0,1,1,0}<CR>	OK outmt(*)={0,1,1,0}<CRLF>

outdel (output delay)

This command may be used as a query to read the output channel delay, or as an update to set the delay. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, in the range 0 to 500, representing the time delay in one half millisecond increments. If the channel address is wildcarded, then the data type is an array of integer of size 4. In this case the value 9999 may be used in an update to indicate that a particular output delay is to remain unchanged by the command.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outdel(1)?<CR>	OK 0<CRLF>
QUERY	outdel(*)?<CR>	OK {0,44,0,0}<CRLF>
UPDATE	outdel(2)=500<CR>	OK<CRLF>
UPDATE	outdel(*)={0,0,100,9999}<CR>	OK<CRLF>

outgn (output gain)

This command may be used as a query to read the output channel gain, or as an update to set the gain. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, in the range -70 to +20, representing the gain in dB. The value -70 has the special meaning Off. If the channel address is wildcarded, then the data type is an array of integer of size 4. In this case the value 99 may be used in an update to indicate that a particular output gain is to remain unchanged by the command.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outgn(1)?<CR>	OK -3<CRLF>
QUERY	outgn(*)?<CR>	OK {3,-4,0,0}<CRLF>
UPDATE	outgn(2)=5<CR>	OK<CRLF>
UPDATE	outgn(*)={0,-5,6,99}<CR>	OK<CRLF>

outgnfp (output front panel gain)

This command may be used as a query to read the output channel Front Panel gain, which is controlled by the knobs on the DM84 front panel. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, in a range determined by the Front Panel gain range setting, representing the gain in dB. If the channel address is wildcarded, then the data type is an array of integer of size 4.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outgnfp(1)?<CR>	OK 15<CRLF>
QUERY	outgnfp(*)?<CR>	OK {10,-3,5,0}<CRLF>

outlb (output channel label)

This command may be used as a query to read the output channel text label, or as an update to set the label. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is string, with a limit of 15 characters.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outlb(1)?<CR>	OK "Zone 3"<CRLF>
UPDATE	outlb(2)="Gallery"<CR>	OK<CRLF>

outlv (output level)

This command may be used as a query to read the output channel level. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, in the range -70 to +20, representing the RMS audio level in dBu as measured AFTER the mixing matrix. If the channel address is wildcarded, then the data type is an array of integer of size 4.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outlv(1)?<CR>	OK -23<CRLF>
QUERY	outlv(*)?<CR>	OK {3,-4,-66,4}<CRLF>

outmic (output mic level)

This command may be used as a query to read the output mic level status, or as an update to set the status. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, either "1" meaning that the output is attenuated to mic level (40 dB), or "0" meaning that it is not.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outmic(3)?<CR>	OK 1<CRLF>
UPDATE	outmic(2)=0<CR>	OK<CRLF>

outmt (output mute)

This command may be used as a query to read the output channel mute status, or as an update to set the status. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, either "1" meaning that the output is muted, or "0" meaning that it is not. If the channel address is wildcarded, then the data type is an array of integer of size 4. In this case the value 99 may be used in an update to indicate that a particular output mute is to remain unchanged by the command.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outmt(2)?<CR>	OK 1<CRLF>
QUERY	outmt(*)?<CR>	OK {0,0,1,0}<CRLF>
UPDATE	outmt(1)=0<CR>	OK<CRLF>
UPDATE	outmt(*)={0,1,0,99}<CR>	OK<CRLF>

outmttog (output mute toggle)

This command may be used as a simple comand to toggle the output channel mute status. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4.

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
COMMAND	outmttog(1)<CR>	OK<CRLF>

outsrc (output signal source)

This command may be used as a query to read the output signal source status, or as an update to set the status. The output channel is specified by using the address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is integer, unless the channel address is wildcarded, in which case the data type is an array of integer of size 4. The following values are allowed:

• 0 - 11  means that the output channel is fed by one of the 12 final mixes exposed by the Master DM series automixer in the system. Note that a zero based index is used to specify the mix.
• 32  means that the output channel is fed by Expansion Bus number 1 (normally used with a DMTH4 telephone hybrid)
• 33  means that the output channel is fed by Expansion Bus number 2 (normally used with a DMTH4 telephone hybrid)
• 64  means that the output channel is fed by a 20Hz to 20kHz  0 dBu pink noise source
• 65  means that the output channel is fed by a 300Hz to 20kHz  0 dBu pink noise source
• 96  means that the output channel is fed by a 0 dBu, 1 kHz tone source

Examples:

	REQUEST	RESPONSE
QUERY	outsrc(3)?<CR>	OK 0<CRLF>
QUERY	outsrc(*)?<CR>	OK {0,0,1,2}<CRLF>
UPDATE	outsrc(2)=2<CR>	OK<CRLF>
UPDATE	outsrc(*)={0,0,1,99}<CR>	OK<CRLF>
