Re: Controlling a Sound Devices recorder automatically

["ozrall" ozrall]

For those interested.

I obtained a file from Sound Devices which amongst other things
includes details on their serial communications protocols and the
command set for sending control "key" signals to the device such as
Record, Stop Rewind etc

It is now on the members files section named
SD7__Prog And Test v2.40.pdf

Talk about great service from a supplier !
They always answer you - within 24hrs, fully and competently.
You can't ask for more than that.

Their serial communications method is quite bullet proof in terms of
error checking and checksums and individual packet acknowledgements
and might take a while to get working nicely, so I think Rob's
suggestion is still the best in terms of getting getting it working in
the quickest and easiest.
ie - Set the SD7## for automatic record when power is applied to the
external power input.
