Power The SACD Standard reports its operational status by transmitting a block of status data via the RS-232 connector. The block is configured as three 8-bit words. The first and last word always contains hexadecimal code 55 to facilitate message framing and synchronization. When the data block is sent through an RS-232 port, each 8-bit word transmitted will also have 1 stop bit associated with it.
