DCP Modes
DCP has two modes of operation:
1. Control This mode is intended for direct control of a QuadraVIsta 2, for example using a computer.
2. Synchronize This mode is used to synchronize multiple, linked devices. In Synchronize mode,
QuadraVIsta 2 sends all settings changes as DCP messages. Thus, a chain of linked QuadraVIsta 2 can be
controlled synchronously.
