The AVT 100 demodulator can be remotely set up andcontrolled via a host computer or other device (such as a controlsystem), attached to the rear panel RS-232 port. See chapter 2,“Installation and Connection,” for information on connections.The control device (host) can use the Extron Simple InstructionSet (SIS™) commands or the Windows-based control software.

Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) Commands

Host-to-AVT communicationsSIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. Nospecial characters are required to begin or end a commandsequence. You can enter these commands from your PC using acommunication software program such as HyperTerminal.When the AVT 100 determines that a command is valid, itexecutes the command and sends a response to the host device.

Most responses from the AVT 100 to the host (PC) end with acarriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals theend of the response character string. A string is one or morecharacters.

AVT 100-initiated messagesWhen a local event such as a front panel selection takes place,the AVT 100 responds by sending a message to the host,indicating what selection was entered. No response is requiredfrom the host. One of the following AVT 100-initiated messagesis displayed, depending on your version.

These messages are displayed only at power-up.

PAL Format ChannelsThe table on the following pages lists all the antenna and CATVchannels that are available through the AVT 100 in areas usingthe PAL standard.

The AVT 100 display shows only whole numbers; it does notshow decimal fractions. Therefore, when a PAL channelnumber is displayed, it does not reflect the exact frequency ofthat channel. To find out the exact tuning frequency for a PALchannel, locate the channel number in the Channel column, thenfind its frequency (stated in MHz) beside it in the Freq (MHz)column.

Example: The frequency for channel 82 is 82.25 MHz.
