Abstract:
1. A method of using parameters to provide multi-channel serial data transmissions, comprising the steps of: connecting a first serial device and a second serial device executing at least one procedure by a physical line; configuring at least one channel parameter corresponding to the procedure by the first serial device; determining that the physical line is occupied by a data channel corresponding to the channel parameter by the second serial device and transmitting data corresponding to the procedure via the data channel to the first serial device; when the physical line is determined by the second serial device not occupied by the data channel, generating a channel switch request corresponding to the channel parameter; transmitting the channel switch request via the physical line from the second serial device to the first serial device; switching the data channel to occupy the physical line by the first serial device and the second serial device; and transmitting the data via the data channel from the second serial device to the first serial device.
