Read Parameter Request 16  

This is a request to send the contents of a parameter via the control endpoint. This is a 
one-time transfer of data. The request is used to access data in the controller.  

This request provides a means for reading the configuration parameters. The request uses 
parameter numbers to determine what data is being requested and where that data is 
located.

The direction bit in bmRequestType has been set to 1 (device-to-host) to return the 
contents of the requested parameter. 

The byte bRequest is set to 16 to indicate that this is the Read Parameter request. 

The wValue field is set to the number of the parameter being requested. 

This request does not use the wIndex field. This field should be set to zero to ensure 
future compatibility.  

The wLength field is the number of bytes being sent by the device to the host. The data is 
returned to the host in the format of the Parameter Data report, which has a 3-byte header, 
so 3 must be added to the number of parameter bytes desired. The following table lists 
the parameters currently supported and the appropriate settings for the request fields.
