Compatibility: The XTC-100D supports the following parameter subset (when querying it
for amplifier status): ‘1’, ‘3’, ‘8’, ‘I’, ‘M’, ‘N’, ‘P’, ‘Q’, ‘T’, and ‘V’. Note that Parameters ‘M’ and
“N” are only available for digital HPAs. Redundant Controllers turn around ‘1’, ‘8’, ‘I’, ‘P’, ‘Q’,
‘T’, ‘V’. Dual Path Controllers pass through queries regardless of parameters. Parameters
‘Z’ and ‘z’ are only available with HPAs that have the linearizer option.
