17.2.1.3. Status
The format definition 'status' defines the format of the command set dependent part of the status block.
This is the part of the status block after the first two quadlets. It only need to be present when it differs
from the standard format for a SBP2 status packet.
Below the 'status' definition is shown in more detail.
Here we can see an example of the use of a macro definition. The selected item in the definitions tree is a
macro call. The properties below show that the macro with name 'sense command specific info' will be
called. This macro is shown lower in the definitions tree. In this case it consists of only one field, the
'command specific info' field.
other input parameters
The following input parameters can be used by the 'status' format definition:
Input parameter name value
length This is the value of the 'length' field in the first
quadlet of the status block. It holds the size of the
total status block in number of quadlets minus 1.
