*Note: SW level indicates the status of the MC-12 internal application software.
Software Major Revision: An unsigned 8 bit integer value indicating the unit’s major software version.
The host should use this information to determine if new effects, effect
parameters, or system parameters have been added or removed.
Software Minor Revision: An unsigned 8 bit integer value indicating this units minor software version.
Indicates the units software operation has changed but effects, effect parameters,
or system parameters have not changed.
Protocol Major Revision: An unsigned 8 bit integer value indicating the serial communication protocol
major version. The host should use this value to determine if new commands,
notifications, or response packets have been added or deleted from this
specification.
Protocol Minor Revision: An unsigned 8 bit integer value indicating the serial communication protocol
minor version. The host should use this value to determine if the existing
commands, notifications, or response packets have changed in this specification
Parameter Count:
An unsigned 16 bit integer value indicating the maximum number of parameters
for this version of software. All Parameters are sequential ordered with in the
unit so cycling from ParamId 0 to ParamId = Parameter Count -1 allows for the
host system to learn the Parameter definitions for all Parameters defined for a
given software version. The 16 bit value is packed LSB followed by the MSB.
Total Number of Effects: An unsigned 8 bit integer value indicating the maximum number of effects
available for this version of software.
