(00, G, F1=0;) get available Z1 preset parameters and max values
(00, G, F2=0;) get available Z2 preset parameters and max values

(00, G, F6;) get available error log parameters and max values
(00, G, F1=7;) get available Z1 zone specific parameters and max values
(00, G, F2=7;) get available Z2 zone specific parameters and max values
(00, G, F0=8;) get available Macro Type 0 parameters and max values
(00, G, F1=8;) get available Macro Type 1 parameters and max values
(00, G, F9;) get available zone adjustment (Hardware Special) and max
values
NOTE: Do not confused F1=0, F2=0, F1=7, F2=7, or F1=8 with F1 and F2. They look
somewhat similar but have very different meanings. F1=0 and F2=0 access available
Preset parameters for Z1 and Z2 respectively. F1=7 and F2=7 access available Zone
Specific parameters for Z1 and Z2 respectively. F1=8 accesses available Macro
parameters for Macro type 1. In contrast, F1 accesses available System parameters and
F2 accesses availableTuner parameters.
Thus, when parsing Format specifiers, the presence of the equal sign, “=”,
significantly alters the meaning of the Format specifier. Specifically, the format is
Fx=fs, where x is some additional specifier (often a Logical Zone number) and fs is
the Format Specifier.
For more information regarding the data returned to the host from the BKC-DIP device, see the E
(echo) Command and R (reply) Command sections.
NOTE: For a complete listing of Format Specifier parameters refer to the appropriate Product
Specific Appendices.
Error Log Status: (receiveID, G, E, identifier, ... identifier; cs16)
The B&K Components’ device constantly monitors its performance. In the unlikely event that a
system error occurs, the B&K Component’s device logs the occurrence and corrects the problem
(if possible). The status of the Error Logs can be queried monitor system performance.
For example:
(0, G, E, 0, 2;0209) Returns logged count of Preserved State and Non-Volatile
Memory errors from a Series II device.
NOTE: For a complete listing of Error Log parameters and their meanings see the complete
listing in the product specific Appendix M.
Favorite Settings of a Preset: (receiveID, G, A, identifier, ... identifier; cs16)
There are two ways to view favorite presets: from a Zone centric view or from a Preset centric
view. To see which presets are favorite to a particular Zone, query the Zone Specific favorite
preset bitmaps. See Zone Specific Settings: (receiveID, G, Zzz, identifier, ... identifier;cs16)
section of this document for more details.
