Default Sense Bytes
You will receive the default eight bytes of Sense data if you place a zero in the
Sense Count field and zeroes in all fields of the Selected Sense Bytes of the
Unit Options or Extended Unit Options
The default values returned are:
Byte Memory Address
Offset + 0 | Offset + 1 | Offset + 2 | Offset + 3 |
|
|
|
|
| Command Identifier |
| |
|
|
|
|
Reserved | SCSI Status | Error | Flags |
0 = Class/Code | 1 = Segment | 2 = SCSI Flags | 3 = Info Byte |
|
|
|
|
4 = Info Byte | 5 = Info Byte | 6 = Info Byte | 7 = Ex Length |
Table 40: Default Ordering of Sense Bytes
Only one Status Block is required to return the default Sense Bytes.
Up to 32 Sequential Sense Bytes
This option is chosen by placing a number (up to 32) in the Sense Count field of either the Unit Options or Extended Unit Options command. The Selected Sense Bytes fields are ignored.
This is useful if all pertinent information occurs within the first 32 bytes of
Sense data returned from your device.
If you enable more than eight bytes of sequential Sense data to be returned, they will be returned in multiple Status Blocks. For example, the first sixteen would appear in this order:
| Byte Memory Offset |
