RS-232 Set Up
Baud Rate
To set up the RS-232 hyperterminal (if not using 3rd party software) the first thing needed is to
find the RS-232 communications port under the computer’s device manager. Once there right click
the port and select properties. Under the properties menu select the port settings tab and update
the menu to the matrix default: Bits Per Second: 115200, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bits: 1
and Flow Control: None.
To change the baud rate of the matrix an RS-232 hyperterminal will be needed. Once the RS-232
hyperterminal is set up changing the baud rate will be done with a command line. The baud rate
for the matrix is for matrix control.
Note: Baud Rate must be only 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200
Command for Matrix baud rate
CSpara[baudrate,data-length,parity,stop-bit] (data, parity, and stop for matrix must be 8,0,1)
For example if you wish to change the baud rate to 38400 the command would look like this:
CSpara[38400,8,0,1]
Command Feedback Description
x1AVx2 x1AVx2
Switch input to output
(input 3 to output 5 = x3AVx5)
x1AVx2,x3,x4 x1AVx2,x3,x4
Switch input to multiple outputs
(input 3 = x3AVx1,x2)
ARConY ARConY Enable ARC on an Output. Ex. Output 2 = ARCon2
ARCoffY ARCoffY Disable ARC on an Output. Ex. Output 4 = ARCoff4
ARCsta ARCon1,ARCon2,etc Displays all ARC output status
Mreset Mreset Sets matrix back to the default settings
