HyperTerminal
There are no spaces in the commands, and there is no need to press enter A response is returned as soon as the product interprets a command, even if the command is not valid. There is no space between the sent command (1cn) and the received response (E10). Try the ? command. This will return a code representing the type of device ie: DEV67 for TetraVio. (E10) is the response for an invalid command

Key Points
External Control of AW products is very easy. Control commands work just like operation from front panel. Expect to use preview+take, just like operation from front panel. Anything available from front panel can be done with Serial/LAN control. Most products have code list at end of manual, but MMS and DVXII have 2 accompanying documents, a lengthy document with all of the codes, and a quickstart guide with examples. Tech Support is here to help!
