10 - 2 DS7708 2D Vertical Slot Scanner Product Reference Guide
All commands sent between the decoder and host must use the format described in the SSI Message Formats
section. SSI Transactions on page 10-3 describes the required sequence of messages in specific cases.
Table 10-1 lists all the SSI opcodes the decoder supports. It identifies the SSI p
artner allowed to send a
message of each type. The host transmits opcod
es designated type H. The decoder transmits type D opcodes,
and either partner can transmit Host/Decoder (H/D) types.
For details of the SSI protocol, refer to the Simple Serial Inter
face Programmer's Guide (72-40451-xx).
