♦String Format : ASCII (not decimal) and hexadecimal examples are shown below.
The commas in the Hex example are merely for your ease of reading
and are not required in transmission. All strings must have a space
(line feed) between each number (except two digit numbers). In the
Hex examples the space is already represented with code “20.” The
end of each string must have a carriage return after the last number
with no space in-between, this is represented by “<CR>.”

Please Note: ”<CR>” stands for Carriage Return, the Hex Code is “0D”. A space in
Hex is “20”, a space in ASCII is just a blank space (as shown above).
♦Rx Format (Feedback):
Response information is in plain human readable text when viewed in ASCII Format.
Feedback mimics what is shown on front panel display of actual Preamp. Please note that
units with serial numbers below 02101 do not send any feedback.
An example when input is CD and Left & Right Volume is set to 55:
205,),000,246,205,000, CD, L, 55, 55, R, 000,200
