Channels
The channels are defined as follows:
SEND_STRINGs
The Radia supports a large number of strings, which can be used to allow interaction with a person using a
terminal. These strings remain primarily to facilitate backward compatibility for other AMX lighting
equipment.
Conventions used in this protocol section of the document:
All string responses are preceded with a single byte 12 ($0C in HEX or ASCII character '?') and
followed by a carriage return (13 or hex $0D), line feed (10 or hex $0A), and a question mark '?' (63
or hex $3F).
All invalid strings will generate the error string 'ERROR! PLEASE RE-ENTER' followed by the
BEL character (7), carriage return (13 or hex $0D), line feed (10 or hex $0A), and a question mark
'?' (63 or hex $3F).
