Lanbox command Set

Each LanBox is like a lighting desk, but without human interface. In order to allow applications to control the box, there is a command set for the LanBox. While many commands are complex and intended for programmers, the basic commands are needed when you are going to control the box using e.g. macros in LCedit for PDAs, MIDI (SysEx), MAX/MSP, or any scripting language.

All commands are described in the 92 pages "LC+ reference manual" (can be found inside the manuals folder, in the LCedit+ folder). Some of the most common commands will be described more extensive below.

TIP Do you want to see how those commands are used by LCedit+?

Turn off Auto update, turn on Debug mode, and open a Stream Watcher window. If you do a Go 100.25, you will see:
{*565B006419#}>

Every command start with a star, the 56 is the EngineGo command, the 5B is the layer ID (use 01 for layer A), the 0064 is cuelist 100 but written in 16 bit hex (High byte first), and the 19 is the step 25 also written in hex. Every command ends with pound sign, and if the box accepted the command it responds with a >, or a ? if it was not accepted.
