1. SUMMARY The RS-232C protocol described in this document is designed to be used to control the 9000 Series Amplifier from a PC and/or remote controller. This specification applies to the 9000 Series firmware version 3.13 or later.
• If a next command received contains byte data shorter than the Data length, the previous command is abandoned. 4. TRANSMISSION DATA AFTER COMMAND RECEPTION When normal data is received, the same data as the reception data is to be transmitted. Example: 91H, 03H, 00H, 00H, 00H (Reception data) 91H, 03H, 00H, 00H, 00H (Transmission data) When channel data is received and the data is outside of the range, the data is to be inverted and transmitted.

5.1.2 Channel Fader Gain - Step Up/ Step Down Set the input and output channel gain positions by the number of steps. Positions can be varied from the current status by the designated number of steps. One position varies per step. 9000 series Amplifier informs position values changed by commands. Position values are shown in POSITION V/S GAIN TABLE. Values are 1dB step under -40dB, and 2dB step under -60dB. The 9000series Amplifier informs position values changed by Step Up or Down.
