^P (Party Line Mode)
Response to the single character “Ctrl P” (16 decimal, 10 hex) is immediate.
This control character restarts the controller in party line mode. One, or up to 32 controllers may be
connected. The “^C” (or cycle power) command is used to restart in single controller (space to sign-on)
mode.
AMS - SIN-11 Serial Adapter
If you are using a SIN-11 serial adapter from AMS, the “&” command must be used to initiate party line
operation. On receipt of the “&” command, the SIN-11 automatically transmits the ^P character within the
party line startup routine. See the serial communication section for more information.
