Appendix A - Remote Control Protocol

NOTE: GRE provides Memory File Format, CCDump Protocol, PC/IF Clone
The 0716 includes a simple remote control interface protocol
(RCIP) that is suitable for use with a PC application designed to
provide a remote control and display capability. The ideal PC
application should provide a means by which a user can interact
with a visual representation of the scanner s keypad and display.
Remote Control Mode is active at all times, and does not require
that the radio be placed in any special remote mode in order for it
to be used.
The basic remote control command/response format is as
follows:
<STX><msgCode><msgData><ETX><sum>
where:
<STX> is an ASCII "Start of Text" symbol (0x02)
<msgCode> is the code that represents the command or
response message type
<msgData> is the data that accompanies a command or a
response
<ETX> is an ASCII "End of Text" symbol (0x03)
<sum> is the sum of all bytes before sum but not including
<STX>, and is sent with every command and response for error
checking.
The following commands are supported in the RCIP:
