DF1 Protocol For PD File Read

[boomer7010 0]

Another learning moment in my DF1 journey. I am trying to navigate a PD file (DF1 Protocol document doesn't mention this file type), reading the different components in it and am unsure on a couple of things:

1.  The syntax for the PD file is: PD<file>:<element>.<field>. So for example, I want to read the Proportional setting for file 9 and element 0, the syntax would be PD9:0.KC. 
   • What type of read command is needed?
   • There are different element fields (KC, Ti, TD, etc) how is each reference in the command? 

The answer to this will lead me to my next question(s).

Got it. I’m using the three address read. File type is 0x93. Each PD file element has 23 words to it. Read and interpret each word respectively.
