B&K Components Device Interface Protocol (BKC-DIP) Specification
Version 2.01.00
Updated 01/24/07
Page 29 of 54
Override Settings: (receiveID, G, O, identifier, ... identifier;cs16)
There are particular parameters (which primarily have to do with RS-232 and BKC-DIP settings)
which can be “overridden”, forcing specific values regardless of the corresponding System setting
parameters.
NOTE: A complete list of Override identifiers is found in Appendix P of the appropriate BKC-
DIP Product Specific Appendices.
NOTE: If no identifiers are specified, all of the Override Setting information is returned to the
host device.
For example:
(00, G, O;0189) returns all Override settings for receive ID 0 units
See the Override Settings: (receiveID, S, O, identifier=value,...identifier=value; cs16) section
for more details on identifiers.
Display Content: (receiveID, G, D, d;cs16)
This command is used to obtain the ASCII text currently displayed by the unit.
The display device specifier, d, can currently take on the value of F for the front panel display or
O for the On screen display (assuming the B & K Components' device under control supports a
front panel display and/or an On screen display).
For example:
(00, G, D, O; cs16) requests the current contents of the OSD of units with Receive
IDs of 00h
(01, G, D, F; cs16) requests the current contents of the front panel display of units
with Receive IDs of 01h
NOTE: See the Reply from the Get Display command (transmitID, G, D, d; cs16) section for
more details on the format of the returned data
Format Specification: (receiveID, G, Ff; cs16)
BKC-DIP is designed to be generic so that as B&K Components devices' features expand,
backwards compatibility can be maintained. For this reason, the internal data structures and
features can be queried to determine which particular B&K Component unit is currently
connected. The currently supported format specifiers, Ff are:
Preset Format: (00, G, Fz=0; 01B0) request a comma delimited list of available PRESET
parameter identifiers and their maximum values of
units with Receive IDs of 00h for zone z. See the
product specific Appendix A for a detailed listing.
System Format: (00, G, F1; 01B1) requests a comma delimited list of available
SYSTEM parameter identifiers and their maximum
values of units with Receive IDs of 00h. See the
product specific Appendix B for a detailed listing.
Tuner Format: (00, G, F2; 01B2) requests a comma delimited list of available TUNER
STATION parameter identifiers and their maximum
values of units with Receive IDs 00h. See the
