escaped in order to appear in the serial macro. The escape character is the backslash, \, character.
This also implies that backslashes must be escaped to differentiate its two meanings: escape or the
actual backslash character.
For example, if you wanted a serial macro to emit the string
String in “double quotes”
The syntax to set serial macro 0 with this payload would look like
(0, S, M0=0, 5=”String in \”double quotes\””;)
Notice the addition of the backslash before the double quotes embedded in the string.
Another example demonstrates the use of escape characters for both backslashes and double
quotes in order to emit the string
\backslashed\ and “quoted”
The corresponding set command for serial macro 1 would be
(0, S, M0=1, 5=”\\backslashed\\ and \”quoted\””;)
IR Macro
NOTE: Currently no V2.0 BKC-DIP product has the hardware capable of transmitting IR
macros. This will be a future enhancement.
Tuner Station Settings: (receiveID, S, Tnn, identifier = value, ... identifier = value;
cs16)
Tuner data can be set using the Tnn specifier. Similar to the "G" get command, nn can range from
00h – 13h.
In the following example, parameter 01 (FM frequency) of station 5 is modified in units with
Receive IDs of 02h.
(02, S, T04, 01=20;032C)
In this example, tuner station 5's FM frequency has been set to 20h (93.9 MHz).
NOTE: For a complete listing of tuner station parameter identifiers and maximum values see the
complete listing in the product specific Appendix C.
NOTE: In later B&K Component devices, the concept of Tuner Stations was discontinued.
These newer devices do not respond to the Tuner Station specifier.
Favorite Settings of a Preset: (receiveID, S, A, identifier=value, ...
identifier=value; cs16)
Similar to the two views for getting favorite presets, there are two views for setting favorite
presets: from a Zone centric view or from a Preset centric view. To attribute presets as favorite in
a particular Zone, the Zone Specific favorite preset bitmaps may be set. See the Zone Specific
