Responses for commands and inquiries
G ACK message
Returned by the EVI-D100/P when it receives a
command. No ACK message is returned for
inquiries.
G Completion message
Returned by the EVI-D100/P when execution of
commands or inquiries is completed. In the case of
inquiry commands, it will contain reply data for the
inquiry after the 3rd byte of the packet. If the ACK
message is omitted, the socket number will contain a
0.
Reply Packet
Ack X0 4Y FF
Completion (commands) X0 5Y FF
Completion (Inquiries) X0 5Y ... FF

G Error message
When a command or inquiry command could not be
executed or failed, an error message is returned
instead of the completion message.

Socket number
When command messages are sent to the EVI-D100/P,
it is normal to send the next command message after
waiting for the completion message or error message
to return. However to deal with advanced uses, the
EVI-D100/P has two buffers (memories) for
commands, so that up to two commands including the
commands currently being executed can be received.
When the EVI-D100/P receives commands, it notifies
the sender which command buffer was used using the
socket number of the ACK message.
As the completion message or error message also has a
socket number, it indicates which command has ended.
Even when two command buffers are being used at
any one time, an EVI-D100/P management command
and some inquiry messages can be executed.
The ACK message is not returned for these commands
and inquiries, and only the completion message of
socket number 0 is returned.
Command execution cancel
To cancel a command which has already been sent,
send the IF_Clear command as the next command. To
cancel one of any two commands which have been
sent, use the cancel message.
Cancel
X = 1 to 7: EVI-D100/P address, Y = socket number
The Command canceled error message will be returned
for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates
that the command has been canceled.
Note
Y = socket number
Y = socket number
Y = socket number
