"DLN" - Download ECDIS package table x
Before sending this command, use "DL?" to retrieve how many packets are actually available in the ECDIS table.
If you request a download package from a empty slot or above the available packets in memory, you will get a NAK
response.
The "DLN" command shall be sent to the unit to request a specific data packet stored in the unit's memory.
The DATA field shall contain the packet number being requested; the byte in the DATA field represents a hexadecimal
word (00 to FF) identifying the block of data to be downloaded.
If the data checksum and packet number is valid, the unit shall reply to this command with an ACK attention code, the
hexadecimal packet number, a separator (‘-‘), and the ASCII packet data. The maximum DATA field size for a packet
of data shall be 74 bytes per message; therefore the DATA field in the reply shall be a maximum length of 74 bytes.
The DATA field of the message is not required to be of maximum length (it may be smaller than 74 bytes).
Example:
Command to read package number 1,2,3,4 (0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03) from Slot ID 0x01 (VGA slot, MMD):
0x07 0xFF 0x44 0x4C 0x4E 0x01 0x1A 0x00 0xFF
0x07 0xFF 0x44 0x4C 0x4E 0x01 0x1A 0x01 0xFE
0x07 0xFF 0x44 0x4C 0x4E 0x01 0x1A 0x02 0xFD
0x07 0xFF 0x44 0x4C 0x4E 0x01 0x1A 0x03 0xFC
.... until the end of available packages.
ECDIS table 0 is stored first and read with only packed nr. To read from other table, another byte is added for table nr. The DATA field shall
contain the packet number being requested and table nr; the first byte in the DATA field represents a hexadecimal word (00 to FF) identifying the
block of data to be downloaded.
The second byte in the DATA represents the table nr from 1-x. If the data checksum and packet number is valid, the unit shall reply to this
command with an ACK attention code, the hexadecimal packet number, a separator (‘-‘), and the ASCII packet data. The maximum DATA field
size for a packet of data shall be 74 bytes per message; therefore the DATA field in the reply shall be a maximum length of 74 bytes. The DATA
field of the message is not required to be of maximum length (it may be smaller than 74 bytes).
