Another BLOCK_ADDRESS question - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

nomis52 · July 28th, 2013

I'm busy adding responder tests for the E1.37-1 PIDs. I'm having trouble deciding what I should expect for GET DMX_BLOCK_ADDRESS in the following situation:

i) the DMX_BLOCK_ADDRESS pid is declared as supported
ii) DEVICE_INFO has no sub devices declared.

Clearly the sub-device footprint must be 0, but what should the base DMX address be? I would have expected 0xffff but it's not called out in the standard.

Yes, it's a weird corner case, but that's what the tests are for...
