6-2.5.2 READ ELEMENT STATUS Data

The data transferred for the READ ELEMENT STATUS command is structured. The data starts with an Element status data header. This is followed by one or more Element status pages. Each Element status page consists of an Element status page header followed by one or more Element descriptor blocks.

An example block structure is shown in Table 6-20. In the example there are two Element status pages; the first page contains four Element descriptor blocks and the second page contains one Element descriptor block.
