Robe Robin Actor 3 in personality 6: GET_RESPONSE SLOT_DESCRIPTION violates spec - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

Tomas,

Thanks for your responss (and to Peter Willis for forwarding this to Robe). Unfortunately, I no longer have the Actor 3 here to play with.

As you advised, I use the first 16-bits of each SLOT_INFO as the slot # for the associated SLOT_DESCRIPTION. This seems to be the most tolerant reading of the spec, which is ambiguous in its use of "slot #", and presents conflicting info on whether or not SLOT_INFOs can skip slots.

For most (but not all) devices I've tested, the SLOT_INFOs increase monotonically from slot 0.
