Handling Commands
The generation and processing of ASCII-formatted commands is central to the
interaction between various StreamNet devices and hence, the heart of a device driver
is how it receives and process ASCII commands. Figure 3-1 shows how the
StreamNet commands flow.
Figure 3-1 StreamNet command flow
As commands are received by the host StreamNet device, they are parsed to separate
out the various addressing fields, ASCII command, and command parameters. Once
the command is completely parsed, it is passed to the device driver for handling by the
appropriate Lua code. Refer to Figure 3-2 to see how commands are routed within the
driver.
