I found the RS232 commands for the B&K equipment, but i need a translator to help me turn it into normal ascii or hex. This is what i have from their PDF

(0,S,P01=FF,00=60;cs16)
Example of Set the unit’s Present State volume = 0 dB

Can someone with B&K experience help me out. The control system is a pronto if that matters.

Thanks

Drabert

Can you send me a link to the B&K manual, and then what type of device are you using for control?

Its a reference 70 pre-amplifier.... the RS232 is set to 9600 and i made a RJ45 to DB9

all the serial settings are correct, i just can not figure out how to take the stuff from the manual, and create either an ascii or hex command.

I have tried the following:
(0,S,P01=FF,00=60;)
0,S,P01=FF,00=60;
(0,S,P01=FF,00=60;\r)
0,S,P01=FF,00=60;\r
(0,S,P01=FF,00=60;cs16)
(0,S,P01=FF,00=60;cs16\r)
0,S,P01=FF,00=60;cs16
0,S,P01=FF,00=60;cs16\r

once i understand how to send this command, i can figure out the rest of the commands. Its just taking what the manual says to send and translating it into something i can send with the pronto through rs232.

in the pronto ascii data box in the Libuary

this string (0,S,P01=FF,00=60;)

would be

(0,s,\xFF,\x60;)

this is asumming 60 is a hex value.
