Communication Protocols
1. Serial port baud rate: 9600; 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
2. The optical switch can only execute one command at a time; you must wait for the program to return the corresponding value before entering the next command.
3. All letters in the commands must be uppercase.
4. In actual operation, use the angle bracket “<” as the start character and the angle bracket “>” as the end character.
5. OSWAA, where “AA” represents the address of the optical switch module; the default is 01.
Instruction set
| Command | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| <OSWAA_MM_NN> | Connect the input MM to the output NN: 01 (indicates the optical switch module address); MM value: 01–08 (indicates the input channel); NN value: 01–08 (indicates the output channel) | Sending <OSW01_01_03> indicates connecting input channel 01 to output channel 03: Success returns: <OK>. If the channel set exceeds the valid channels of the optical switch, the following is returned: <ER>. |
| <OSWAA_MM_?> | Check which output channel the MM input channel of the optical switch module is connected to | Sending <OSW01_02_?> indicates a query for input channel 02: for example, a response of <OSW01_02_03> indicates that input channel 02 is connected to output channel 03. |
| <SAVE> | Save the current channel connection configuration | Success: <OK> |
