8.32. BLDATA -- Request Level Information

This command is used to request "blinking light" data from the EF2241. Blinking light data consists of signal
levels for the 9 inputs (1-4, A-D, T), 10 outputs (1-4, A-D, T, L), and 2 AEC references (R1, R2) as well as
room gain levels for inputs 1-4, AGC gain levels for inputs 1-4, and AEC state information for inputs 1-4.
The blinking light data can be received in two ways. The first way is by polling the Vortex by sending a
BLDATA? command. The second way is to have the Vortex automatically send BLDATA responses via the
command.
BLAUTO
The most general format of the BLDATA responses generated by the Vortex is as follows.

Each of the i, o, r, g, a and s characters above represents a single byte of data as shown in the table
