Put the LUCIA on standby
Command standby<CR>
Function
description
Puts the ampli er on standby
Usage
examples
Standby Standby
Returns Standby OK STANDBY
Wake up the LUCIA
Command [20 or more spaces]
Function
description
The ampli er, and thus the RS232 port
wakes on logic level change. Therefore to
wake the ampli er, you have to send
20 or more spaces
Usage
examples
Wakeup [20 spaces]
Returns Wakeup OK WAKEUP
Status
The following commands allows the user to get system
feedback from the LUCIA ampli ers
Get output volume level
Command getvolume [output channels 1 to 4] <CR>
Function
description
Get the volume of one or more outputs.
It is possible to get the volume of multiple
output channels at once by using comma
as separator.
The resolution of the returned volume
is 0.5 dB
Usage
examples
One channel getvolume 1
Multiple channels getvolume 1,2
Returns
One channel
OK GET VOLUME
CH1:-10
Multiple channels
OK GET VOLUME
CH1:-10 CH2:-11.5
Error in parameters ERROR GET VOLUME
Note: If multiple outputs levels are queried
the volume levels are only reported for
available outputs.
Get output mute status
Command getmute<CR>
Function
description
Get the mute status for all outputs.
A returned 1 signi es muted,
a returned 0 signi es unmuted.
Usage
examples
Get mute for all
outputs
getmute
Returns Mute all outputs OK GET MUTE 0
Get matrix patch point gain
Command getmtx [channel in][channel out] …<CR>
Function
description
Get gain for one or more matrix patch
points. A patch point is speci ed by
input and output channels concatenated
without seperator, e.g. “12” for in1 and
out2. It is possible to get all or multiple
speci ed patch points in one go (see usage
examples). When gain is at -31 dB the patch
point is considered unset. The resolution of
the printed gain is 1 dB
Usage
examples
Get gain for all getmtx
Get gain of in1
to out1
getmtx 11
Get gain of multiple getmtx 11 12 21
Returns
Get gain for all
OK GETMTX 11:0
12:-1 13:-2 14:-3
21:-4 …
Get gain of in1
to out1
OK GETMTX 11:0
Get gain of multiple
OK GETMTX 11:0
12:-1 21:-4
Error in parameters ERROR GETMTX
Get temperature
Command gettemp<CR>
Function
description
Returns the internal temperature of the
ampli er in degrees Celsius
Usage
examples
Get temperature gettemp
Returns Get temperature OK TEMP 37
Get rail voltage
Command getrail<CR>
Function
description
Returns the rail voltage for the PSU
Usage
examples
Get rail voltage getrail
Returns Get rail voltage OK RAIL 65
Get ampli er status
Command getstatus<CR>
Function
description
Returns the overall status of the ampli er,
indicating whether a fault has occurred
that prevents the ampli er from playing.
Sources of error can be either a short-circuit
of an output or overheat.
Usage
examples
Get status getstatus
Returns
Get status OK STATUS OK
Get status (amp error) OK STATUS FAULT
Get model name
Command getprodname<CR>
Function
description
Returns the name of the model
Usage
examples
Get model name getprodname
Returns Get model name
OK NAME Lucia
120/2M
Get software version
Command getswver [mode]<CR>
Function
description
Returns the software version
of the ampli er
Usage
examples
Get version getswver v
Get revision getswver r
Returns
Get version OK SW 1.4
Get revision OK SW 807
Error in parameters ERROR SW
Get serial number
Command getserial<CR>
Function
description
Returns the serial number of the ampli er
Usage
examples
Get serial number getserial
Returns Get serial number OK SERIAL 1441233
Best practice for
optimal performance
The two slots in the protruding PCB handle allows for  xation of
the cables. In order to obtain the highest EMC performance on
the RS232 interface, we recommend using the ground pad
between the two slots.
Expose the cable screen and tie it to the ground pad with
cable ties.
