M8™
Command Structure - Receiving
Command processing begins when the first 0x0D (carriage return) is re-
ceived. The Maestro M8 will respond, either by making the change speci-
fied with a status update answer code or by replying with an error answer
code, within 3 seconds. More commands, however, may be sent before the
Maestro M8 responds to the first command. When a command is received,
the Maestro M8 echoes the command back in the following format:
<ST><ZN><CC><AC><DL><Data><ETR>
