The Automation Language (AUT)

Object Vector (Language = AUT)

The Object Vector defines the address of the object to which the Art-Osc packet is directed. The Object Vector is expressed in dot notation with fixed field length as shown below:

mmm.mmm.ppp.ppp.ttt

These fields are defined in the following table.

Example: The Artistic Licence manufacturer ID is 65₁₀ 76₁₀. The product code for Artistic Licence product Colour-Tramp is 100₁₀ 1₁₀. So the Object Vector will be:

065.076.100.001.001

Instance (Language = AUT)

The Instance defines the actual instance of an object used in automation. For example, a screen may contain multiple switches.  The Instance identifies which switch is which. The instance field is a fixed width field of three numeric characters representing an integer in the range 0 to 999.

Parameter (Language = AUT)

The Parameter field describes the parameter which is addressed. The field is a variable length string selected from the following table.

The parameters can be further subdivided to access specific properties of a parameter, such as colour. See AUT examples for details.
