This Appendix details the elements for communication between the Video Multiplexer and the personal computer. For
BAUD RATE, DATA BIT, STOP BIT and PARITY settings, see page 35 COM PORT SETUP menu.
Communication Protocol
1. Transmission Command
The PC sends messages to operate the Multiplexer in the format shown below. Also refer to the command table shown
later. 
A transmission message consists of [STX], [Address], [;], [Transmission Command], and [ETX]. [Address] is expressed
as “ADuu,”where ‘uu’ is in the range of “00” through “16” in decimal form to identify the unit number of the Video
Multiplexer. When using the RS-232C port to communicate with the PC, [Address] and [;] can be omitted.
2. Response Command
The Multiplexer returns messages in reply to the PC’s messages with the following formats.
(1) Reception completed
When the reception was completed successfully, the Multiplexer sends back “ACK code, 06H”, followed by parameters.
The response command is shown in the Command Table.
Note:The Video Multiplexer returns [ACK] or [NAK] to the PC within 20 ms after the reception of [ETX] in a transmission
message. (2) Reception error
The Multiplexer sends back “NAK code, 15H”, followed by the parameters shown below. The Multiplexer then resets the
reception buffer and enters waiting mode for the next message. Parameter “e” identifies the error status.

2: Data Over error
3: Framing error
4: Overrun error
5: Time Out error
(3) Parameter error
The Multiplexer returns “ACK code, 06H”, the transmission command that was not  processed properly for some reason,
followed by an error code as shown below.
Error code ER001: Command invalid
