    1. Overview 1.1 About This Manual This manual is the Interface Manual for the Sony SRP-X500P Digital Powered Mixer. The protocol explained in this manual is designed for controlling the SRP-X500P Digital Powered Mixer from an externally connected computer. This manual should be used together with the Operating Instructions and the User’s Guide.

  • Page 4: Communication Format

    (Acknowledge). When the SRP-X500P fails to process a command due to a reception error or other problem, it returns a NAK (Not Acknowledge). ・When the computer sends a command, the computer waits for an ACK or NAK from the SRP-X500P. If the computer receives a response, it can send the next command.

  • Page 5: Handshake Codes

    See “2. Command Reference” (page 6) for details. NAK : 0x4E ( ‘N’ ) When the SRP-X500P fails to process a command sent by an external computer, it returns a NAK to the computer. DELIMITER : 0x0D ( ‘CR’ ) The SRP-X500P adds a delimiter code (equivalent to the ASCII carriage return) as the last byte of all commands.
