^P (Party Line Mode)

Response to the single character “Ctrl P” (16 decimal, 10 hex) is immediate.

This control character restarts the controller in party line mode. One, or up to 32 controllers may be connected. The “^C” (or cycle power) command is used to restart in single controller (space to sign-on) mode.

AMS - SIN-11 Serial Adapter

If you are using a SIN-11 serial adapter from AMS, the “&” command must be used to initiate party line operation. On receipt of the “&” command, the SIN-11 automatically transmits the ^P character within the party line startup routine. See the serial communication section for more information.
