0x00 – No Sync

0x03 – Base10 Master
0x04 – Base2 Slave
0x05 – Base10 Slave
This command asks a scanner to verify that a clock signal (that is generated by the master scanner) can be
detected on the sync cable. If no clock signal is detected it likely means that 1) no cable is attached to the
scanner or 2) no master scanner is configured in the network. This information is returned regardless of a
scanner’s network configuration, so it can be used to query scanner that are acting only as repeaters.
Here is the detailed explanation of the return codes:
Code Explanation
0x00 Scanner is not a master and/or there are no synchronization signals detected at either
port
0x01 Signal detected but no lockup is present. This is an error condition
0x02 Scanner is configured as a MASTER and the reference clock is set to Base2
0x03 Scanner is configured as a MASTER and the reference clock is set to Base10
0x04 Sync cable detected and the master signal is a valid Base2 clock
0x05 Sync cable detected and the master signal is a valid Base10 clock

Card Mask
Reports what slots in the scanner has cards. This command returns a 16-bit card mask indicating which
slot has a valid card. For example if a scanner contains cards in slots 1 and 6 (and the remaining slots are
empty) the card mask will be 0b0000000000100001.
Note for consistency a 4-slot scanner will return a 16-bit card mask where the upper 12 bits will be 0.
