If the turnaround logic is implemented in software, I agree that the implementation should drop the first preamble byte. If the turnaround logic is implemented in hardware (logic, PLD or FPGA), the...

If the inline device uses a switching fabric rather than a store-and-forward implementation, it doesn't have the ability to `hold on to it'. See my response to Gerry above.

Hi Eric,

I agree, it's outside the spec. If the controller does request PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION, there's no harm done if the responder returns an error.

As a controller displaying a UI to the...

Hi Gerry,

There's two ways that an inline device could be designed. For simplicity, let's consider a repeater that has just one responder port and one command port.

1. A microcontroller sits...

I use GET PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION PERFORM_SELFTEST to get the minimum and maximum valid values. I had thought of PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION as only being useful for manufacturer-specific PIDs, but it seems...

In-line device turnaround time

Hi,

When an in-line device receives a request packet, it must switch to receiving on the command ports within 132 μs. It then listens to the command ports, and if it sees a falling edge, it must...

My preferred solution would be to encode the model number in the device ID as mmmm:ffff:dddd. However, since we're talking about a broadcast packet, I think it's important that the packet be...

The protocol states that PERFORM_SELFTEST returns a flag: only 0 or 1. Much more useful is to return the number of the test currently running, or 0 for no test. I would absolutely recommend this...

Perhaps a E120_GET_COMMAND_RESPONSE E120_PERFORM_SELFTEST could return two bytes: the current test running and the number of tests available, as the personality PID does.

Cheers,
Shaun

The 257 byte maximum includes the two bytes of the checksum, which clearly aren't covered by the checksum. The checksum only covers 255 bytes.

One more note. The header file is either corrupted or non-ASCII/non-ISO/non-UTF. It contains the character 150 (0x96), which I suspect should be a hyphen or a dash, and the character 146...
