Page 19: Data Protocol
5.1 Basic principles of communication You need suitable PC software to communicate with the SorTexx system. This software sends commands to SorTexx in order to perform certain actions. On receiving a command, the LED control unit sends an answer to the PC. -
Page 20: Start Codes And End Codes
Data protocol • „D“ = Control unit is busy. You will receive this result when you are inside a menu. For some commands, byte 8 (parameters) contains an additional value. 5.4 Start codes and end codes By default the characters “<” and “>” are used as start and end codes. Alternatively you can also use the following characters: For generating the answer string, the control unit always uses the start and end codes that it found in the correspondent command string. -
