M1 Control RS-232 ASCII String Protocol Page 44 of 68 Rev. 1.79 July 16, 2009
If the first character in a requested name is a “space” or less, then the next
names are searched until a name is found whose first character is greater than
“space” or the “Show On Keypad” bit is set. If no valid names are found, a “000”
for the NNN address is returned. This speeds up the loading of names so that invalid
names are not returned. M1 version 2.4.6 or later.
