DCC2 User Manual
Appendix A: Serial Remote Control (RS-232)
The DCC2 is equipped with a 9-pin RS-232 connector for system remote control via a
serial cable (not provided by EMM Labs). The cable should be non-crossed for
connections between a PC and the DCC2. The parameters and settings for this link are:
• 19,200 baud
• 8 bits
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
• no parity bit
Commands to DCC2
All commands sent to the DCC2 consist of 3 ASCII characters followed by a <CR>.
Repeating a <CR> will repeat the last command sent. This feature can be used to adjust
the volume of the DCC2 over a wide range. Received commands are not stored in a
stack and, therefore, need to be sent in intervals of at least 30ms to allow enough time for
the DCC2 to execute a command before receiving the next one.
