Introduction
Vicon’s Pilot Lite™ V1522 and Pilot Plus™ V1544 Matrix Switching and
Control Systems may be controlled by a host computer using RS-232
command codes. This is accomplished by connecting a standard null modem
cable, with full handshaking, to the host port connector on the back of the
units. The Pilot Lite is shown below. The connector is in the same location on
the Pilot Plus.
This manual covers the use of RS-232 command codes to control CCTV
equipment using a host computer with the Pilot Lite or Pilot Plus.

Command Codes
RS-232 command codes are used to operate CCTV equipment from a host
computer. An extensive set of report commands may be used to provide
status information to the host computer operator. Command codes are
discussed in the following sections. Each section includes a table that
explains the elements of the code and provides an example. If the command
performance can be verified, the table will include the name of the command
which can be used. Where applicable, the table includes the reference
number of the failure conditions that can occur when a command is sent to
the matrix switching and control system. These reference numbers and the
description of failure conditions are listed in Table 1.
