Payload Types - Hits¶
The following hit and trigger types are currently supported by
payload-parsing. Below are the byte maps for the various payloads. This
information is likely incomplete, as it is derived from the code and previous
docs were quite out of date… Additional payload mapping information can be
found here.
Type 10¶
The V2-4 engineering format DOM hit (a DOM hit which is either passed to the StringHub’s back-end Sender class or which is saved to a HitSpool file).
