Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)
The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:
0: assign value
The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each
element will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter
may only be
“
assigned
”
an empty list of boolean type. This operation will
trigger the action associated with that parameter. A boolean value may
be assigned the value zero for false, and any other value for true.
1: offset / toggle value
Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void
value. Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert
that value.
Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.
Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)
The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and
number of elements.
The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.
