  note: Sent sequentially after SBASKSTA request. All 10 feedback commands sent in sequence after status request.

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: no discrete queryable parameters other than status request

Events

# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited event documentation

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no explicit multi-step sequences documented

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source

Notes

On power-on reset, all destinations set to Source 1. When front panel is locked, all status changes are made via RS-232 only. The device sends all 10 feedback commands sequentially after receiving the status request.

confidence: medium
summary: "All 21 units match source commands (10 controller commands, 10 feedback replies, IN/OUT state); serial settings verbatim; source generic 'all devices except SB-5688'. (6 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "full command syntax (byte-level structure) not detailed beyond ASCII mnemonics. UNRESOLVED: device applies to all models except SB-5688."
- "no discrete queryable parameters other than status request"
- "no unsolicited event documentation"
- "no explicit multi-step sequences documented"
- "no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source"
- "byte-level command packet structure not detailed — only ASCII mnemonics provided. UNRESOLVED: whether device auto-reports state changes (unsolicited) not confirmed."
