Abstract

A reporting device communicates with a master device by a first component and a daisy-chained second component. The reporting device receives a signal from the master device via the first component. The signal triggers the reporting device to transmit synchronously a telemetry data packet on the daisy-chained second component when a downstream device is coupled to the second component. The reporting device receives a first header packet having an address of the reporting device, transmits the telemetry data packet to the downstream device, and transmits a second header packet having an address of the downstream device.
