| Data Packet Size | 64 bytes (including 1-byte Report ID 0x01) |
| Effective Data | 63 bytes |
| Byte Order | Little Endian |
| Sync Header | 0x77 (fixed at byte 1, Report ID at byte 0) |
1.2 HID Device Identification¶
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usage Page | 0xff82 or 0xff83 | HID device type identifier |

3.1.3 Parameter Reading Flow¶
- GUI sends SET_EQ_MODE command to switch to target mode (0x8A)
- GUI sends GET_EQ_PARAMS request (0x8E)
- Device prepares response data
- GUI reads response
3.2 Timing Requirements and Constraints¶
Timing Requirements
- Command Interval: Minimum 5ms recommended
- Read Delay: Wait 100ms after sending read request
- Mode Switching: Wait for device internal state to stabilize after completion
Protocol Limitations and Constraints
Hardware Limitations
- Filter Count: Fixed at 8 filters (MAX_EQ_BANDS = 8)
- Mode Count: 0-6 are preset modes, 7-9 are user modes, 9 is Bypass mode (Note: Mode 9 is typically Bypass, check specific device config)
- Sample Rate Support: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz (device capability, independent of protocol fields)
