SHOW_NEXT
Used in conjunction with the SHOW_ROI command, SHOW_NEXT reports the next
continuous group of channels that have the ROI flag set. The response is of the form
$Dsssssnnnnnccc<CR>
where sssss represents an integer number that is the number of the first channel of the “next”
group of channels that all have their ROI bit set, and nnnnn represents an integer number that
is the number of channels in the group. If no more channels have their ROI bit set,
SHOW_NEXT returns a first channel of 0 and a number of channels of 0. The SHOW_ROI
command is used to report the “first” group of channels that all have their ROI bit set.
Example Responses:
