-Transfer rate :9600 BaudNote for control4 users
53
- Start bit (ST) :1
The best way to enter commands is shown below. This example is to go to input 2
54
- Data bits :8The $02 is the stx command and the $03 is the etx command.
55
- Parity (P) :No$02 “DACAC2” $03

The DAC Command Format consists of a data row (some commands are without a PC) composed of a command code (CC) and parameter codes (PC).
62
The transmission shall consist of a start bit STX (02h), a command code, sometimes a parameter code, and an end bit ETX (03h).
63
Here is the format:
64
<STX> <PP1><PP2><PP3><CC1><CC2><PC> <PC1> <PC2> .....<PCn> <ETX>
65
66
STX (Start of Text) :02h
67
PP (Product Prefix):"DAC"
68
CC (Command Code) :Command code
69
PC (Parameter Code) :Not always used
70
ETX (End of Text) :03h
