Example Use of Selected Sense Bytes Fields | Ciprico Rimfire 3880

Chapter 7 Board-control Commands
Unit Options (08H)	Page 7 - 23

If the Sense Count field is set to 0, but there are non-zero values in the Selected Sense bytes fields, the byte numbers and order you define in the Selected Sense Bytes fields are used to return automatic Request Sense information for this device.

Example Use of Selected Sense Bytes Fields

In this example your device has valuable information, in bytes other than the first eight, that you wish to substitute:

•Byte 12 is an Additional Sense Code.

•Bytes 15 through 17 include additional error information.

Assume bytes 16 and 17 are pointers that you wish to read in as a word. You will arrange them in the group of Sense Bytes to make this easy. For the example, the Sense Count field must be set to zero. The Selected Sense Bytes fields of the Unit Options command would look like this:

Address		Byte Memory Address
Offset	Offset + 0	Offset + 1	Offset + 2	Offset + 3
	Offset + 0	Offset + 1	Offset + 2	Offset + 3

00H		Command Identifier

04H	Disconnect Time-out		Unit SCSI ID	Adapter ID = FFH

08H	Select Time-out		Retry Control	Retry Limit

0CH	Reserved	Reserved	Sense Count = 0	Unit Flags

10H	Command = 08H		Reserved
14H	0H (Class/Code)	01H (Segment)	02H (SCSI Flags)	03H (Info Byte)

18H	0CH (Byte 12)	0FH (Byte 15)	11H (Byte 17)	10H (Byte 16)
