NTRODUCTION
SEL relays have two separate data streams that share the same serial port. The human data
communications with the relay consist of ASCII character commands and reports that are
intelligible to humans using a terminal or terminal emulation package. The binary data streams
can interrupt the ASCII data stream to obtain information and then allow the ASCII data stream
to continue. This mechanism allows a single communications channel to be used for ASCII
communications (e.g., transmission of a long event report) interleaved with short bursts of binary
data to support fast acquisition of metering data. To exploit this feature, the device connected to
the other end of the link must have software that uses the separate data streams. The binary
commands and ASCII commands can also be accessed by a device that does not interleave the
data streams.
