Lexicon, Inc. DC-2/MC-1 Serial Communications Protocol Printed on: 10/19/00 The DC-2/MC-1 uses simple notification, command, response and acknowledgment packets to have communication transactions with a given HOST. This protocol is designed for point to point communication between a HOST and DC-2/MC-1. The DC-2/MC-1 Protocol is a 3 layered system. The DC-2/MC-1 serial protocol allows for the DC-2/MC-1, or the HOST to initiate a communication transaction. Most transactions are initiated by t

If an error is detected by the DC- 2/MC-1, the DC-2/MC-1 will transmit an NAK packet with a error code of: DC_ERR_PARTIY, DC_ERR_FRAME, DC_ERR_OVER, corresponding to the error detected. If any of the physical layer errors are detected, the complete packet is corrupted and the DC-2/MC-1 will reset the transaction and begin to look for a sta

Lexicon, Inc. DC-2/MC-1 Serial Communications Protocol Printed on: 10/19/00 The DC-2/MC-1 includes 8 custom characters that are defined to display increments of a display block. (i.e. Volume Bar) The custom characters are ASCII character codes 08 - 0F(hex). The codes are used as follows: '08' - left 1 bar '09' - left 2 bars '0A' - left 3 bars '0B' - left 4 bars '0C' - Full Cell '0D' - Underscore '0E' - right 3 bars '0F' - not in use 7.1.3.3 HOST Response The DC-2/MC-1 does not look for
