Applicable Models: M980xA, M983xA,P50xxA/B, P93xxB (Write-Read) Set and Read the function for the specified port in the sub control port of the I/O adapter interface. The assigned settings are preserved for each system configuration even after preset, firmware restart and power on/off. The CONTrol:SIGNal:KDMI:SUB:CHANnel:FUNCion allows you to set the function independently for each channel. For more information, see I/O Connector Interface |

Parameters |
|
<port> |
Port Number. The number of total ports is returned by CONTrol:SIGNal:KDMI:SUB:COUNt?. |
Examples |
CONT:SIGN:KDMI:SUB:FUNC:CAT? control:signal:kdmi:sub:function:catalog? |
Query Syntax |
CONTrol:SIGNal:KDMI:SUB:FUNC:CAT? |
Return Type |
<sting>, available function list with Comma separated chars |
See the table in <func> of CONTrol:SIGNal:KDMI:SUB:FUNC? |
Applicable Models: M980xA, M983xA, P50xxA/B, P93xxB (Read only) Read the level of the specified INPUT port of the I/O adapter sub side. This command reads the level immediately after its execution. It is not necessary to assign the port as INPUT by CONTrol:SIGNal:KDMI:SUB:FUNCtion command. The When the specified port is not input port, "Specified KDMI port is not input port" error is returned.
