Powerware Model V-2000B Odetics Protocol

Serial Protocols = 125

Odetics® Protocol

Odetics serial protocol is an extension of P2 tape machine control protocol. Among its most

significant features is the selection of a file by name rather than by time-code location, as with

P2. Odetics protocol is used by many table-top controllers, and some automation systems. Its

implementation in the Image Server appears in the following table.
