Chapter 3 ANSI EVFU

Table 27. Two Byte Channel Control Code Format

Bit Number	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1
Channel Number	x	x	12	11	10	9	8	7
second byte	x	x	y	y	y	y	y	y

y: 0 - no stop in channel, 1 - stop in channel

x: bit has no meaning

NOTE: Each “channel control code” pair of bytes has the capability to indicate multiple channels since each channel indication has a unique bit position which is either ON =1 or OFF = 0.
