Read Channel Status

[cmdchars] = !O

Description

The Read Channel Status command reads the status of targeted channels of the addressed module.

Syntax

!O[positions]

Note  The command character is an uppercase O, not a zero.
[positions]Four ASCII-hex characters specify the targeted channels. A "1" in any bit means that the command reads the status of the corresponding channel. A zero in any bit means that the corresponding channel is not targeted.

Success Response

A[chnl_status]

[chnl_status]One ASCII-hex character specifies the status of each targeted channel. The first character corresponds to the most significant "1" in the [positions] field, and so on. The following table shows the meaning of each [chnl_status] value:

[chnl_status] Value Channel Status
0 The channel is configured and the channel status is good.
1 Channel-specific error 1
2 Channel-specific error 2
3 The channel is unconfigured or is processing configuration information.
? The targeted channel does not exist.
