Note: Solicited and unsolicited destination route and lock update responses (.U and
.BA) will only be sent by the router if the control system has made changes.
All commands might return an error response if the syntax is incorrect.
5. CHANGES BY PANELS
If a panel changes an xpt, then the computer port outputs an update message as if the computer port
had changed the xpt. If more than one level was used during the set xpt, then more messages will be
output.
Panel Reply
L=1, D=2, S=3 .UV002,003(cr)
L=1,2 D=20, S=12 .UV020,012(cr)
.UA020,012(cr)
L=1,2,4 D=1, S=9 .UV001,009(cr)
.UA001,009(cr)
.UC001,009(cr)
Note that this message can be issued at any time, even just after the receipt of an external .SV
message. Therefore the controlling computer software design must take this into account.
The update response created when a panel instigates a take will return all the levels in one message.
The use of multiple responses with single levels was superseded many years ago.
