Can you test it with serial commands? I have used screen in the past to do this but any terminal program will work.

E.g for serial port 1 at 9600 baud:

screen -fn -L -d -m -S switcher /dev/ttyS1 9600

Then you send commands like this:

screen -S switcher -X stuff cmd_to_send

On the ACS 8.2 I have, lets say I want output 1 to unlatch, output 2 to latch and output 3 to pulse (all on unit 0). I would send screen 3 times with the following command:

*0OR1F

*0OR2L

*0OR3P

e.g. screen -S switcher -X stuff *0OR3P

That way at least you know if your device is working or if Rivendell is having issues. You can obviously use bash scripts to send via screen and use an RN macro in Riv to achieve the same thing if Rivendell isn't working for you.

Also be aware that some dip switch settings may have to be changed in order for Rivendell to use it properly (I had to take the lid off mine but some of the units have them on the back).

Greetings,

I have a Broadcast Tools SRC 8 III that I have been using for GPI input closures and it works well, however I had a need to use the relay outputs and I can't get them to work.

The receive light flashes on the unit but no relay closure.

Using macro command GO matrix type gponum state length

as GO 1 O 1 1 0!

any thoughts?
