Receiving Reports from the Controller
Four reports can be sent from the controller to the host. These reports fit into two
categories: those sent immediately in response to a host request (synchronous) and those
sent when updates to the data they contain become available (asynchronous).
Synchronous reports:
 Report 4 Parameter Data
 Report 6 Status
 Report 12 Controller ID
Asynchronous reports:
 Report 1 Coordinate Data
Some possible reasons for a command failure include:
 The command was not formatted correctly.
 The system parameters were not set up to allow command execution.
 The controller does not support the command.
