View HEX Commands & Feedback
The Suite 7.1 HD is controllable via HEX com-
mands and also provides feedback in HEX that
can be translated to ASCII. For each and every
function described in this manual, there is a
matching HEX command. This includes update
requests (feedback updates) which in addition to
an Update All command, include update requests
specific to a function or section of functions thus
keeping the incoming data stream shorter.
While commands are seven bytes in length with
the first and last byte the FF clear buffer bytes,
the second byte (03) refers the component type
and the third byte (typically 00) is the unit address.
The remaining three bytes change depending on
the function command.
The PC program features a View Command check
box which displays the HEX command. Double
clicking on the command opens a Copy Com-
mand Packet's window in which permits you to
copy and place the HEX command directly into
a control system.
Feedback is a 16 byte string with the first byte 0F
and the last byte F0 (clear buffer). For filtering
purposes, the 14th byte is the unit type (03) and
the fifteenth byte the unit address (typically 00).
Bytes 2-13 are is the 12-character text feedback
in HEX. Both the PC program and the front panel
display translate this HEX feedback to ASCII.
The PC program features a View Feedback check
box which opens a window that displays this
feedback in ascending order. To the left is the 16
byte HEX string and to the left in parenthesis is
the ASCII translation of bytes 2-13 (the feedback
in English).
