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

Tomas,

Reading the spec again, my interpretation is that "slot" and "channel" refer to the same concept (slot offset), so the first 2 bytes of SLOT_INFO is a slot offset, and the slot# in the GET SLOT_DESCRIPTION is also a slot offset.

So, if the first 5 slots are unused, the Actor 3 should return a SLOT_INFO list starting at offset 5. On receipt of a GET SLOT_DESCRIPTION, the Actor 3 should:
a. NR_DATA_OUT_OF_RANGE a GET SLOT_DESCRIPTION for slots 0-5.
b. ACK slots 5-36 (inclusive) with the expected label.

Is this your interpretation too?
