11.6 Firmware Version Data Format
The firmware version field is a short section of ASCII text in the middle of
the binary ensemble data. It contains the version numbers of all the firm-
ware in the Channel Master. The same version numbers are listed by the
PS0 command (see “PS0 – System Configuration,” page 77).
Version numbers in the field are separated by line feed characters (0Ah).
The text section is terminated with a NUL character (00h). The length of
this field is determined by the number of characters in each version number,
and the number of firmware modules. Given Teledyne RDI’s version num-
ber formats, this field should be either 39 or 50 bytes long with release ver-
sion firmware. Table 25 illustrates the format for release firmware with an
SDI-12 personality module present. If there is no SDI-12 personality mod-
ule, the SDI-12 firmware versions and their line feeds will not be present.
