Hi everybody !

I am currently working on implementing a RDM responder and I have a question concerning personalities.

A personality is associated to a number of slots, no doubt on it. So we can say each sub-device can have a different footprint depending on the selected personality.

However, when performing a GET_DEVICE_INFO, there is a DMX footprint field to fill, and it is not explicitly associated to a personality.
Does this field correspond to the maximum number of DMX slots the sub-device can consume or to the current slot count, associated to the current personality ?

I hope I am clear enough, even if it may sound confused...
