EXS API Hex Format

Notes:

1. If System Software Major Rev, System Software Minor Rev, and System Software build Number fields are "0," system software is not present.

2. When in the process of downloading, the system software versions reflect the version of the code being downloaded. The version of the code which is being executed by the Excel platform may differ during download.

3. It is recommended that the host rely on the Poll message to determine when system software must be downloaded.

4. If a second Matrix Controller card is not installed, or if the system software is not present on the second Matrix Controller card, the Adjacent Matrix Controller Timestamp field will show "0."

5. Timestamp equals number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
