COSMOS includes Interfaces for TCP/IP Client, TCP/IP Server, Udp Client / Server, and Serial connections. For 99% of use cases these Interfaces should not require any changes as they universally handle the low-level details of reading and writing from these types of connections. All unique behavior should now be defined in Protocols.</p>
 <p>At a minimum, any byte stream based Interface will require a Protocol to delineate packets. TCP/IP and Serial are examples of byte stream based Interfaces. A byte stream is just a simple stream of bytes and thus you need some way to know where packets begin and end within the stream.</p>
 <p>TCP/IP is a friendly byte stream. Unless you are dealing with a very poorly written system, the first byte received on a TCP/IP connection will always be the start of a packet. Also, TCP/IP is a reliable connection in that it ensures that all data is received in the correct order, that no data is lost, and that the data is not corrupted (TCP/IP is protected by a CRC32 which is pretty good for avoiding unrecognized data corruption).</p>
 <p>Serial is a much less friendly byte stream. With serial connections, it is very likely that when you open a serial port and start receiving data you will receive the middle of a message. (This problem is only avoided when interfacing with a system that only writes to the serial port in response to a command). For this reason, sync patterns are highly beneficial for serial interfaces. Additionally, serial interfaces may use some method to protect against unrecognized data corruption (Checksums, CRCs, etc.)</p>
 <p>UDP is an inherently packet based connection. If you read from a UDP socket, you will always receive back an entire packet. The best UDP based Protocols take advantage of this fact. Some implementations try to make UDP act like a byte stream, but this is a misuse of the protocol because it is highly likely that you will lose data and have no way to recover.</p>

 <p>The Burst Protocol simply reads as much data as it can from the interface before returning the data as a COSMOS Packet (It returns a packet for each burst of data read). This Protocol relies on regular bursts of data delimited by time and thus is not very robust. However, it can utilize a sync pattern which does allow it to re-sync if necessary. It can also discard bytes from the incoming data to remove the sync pattern. Finally, it can add sync patterns to data being written out of the Interface.</p>

 <p>The Fixed Protocol reads a preset minimum amount of data which is necessary to properly identify all the defined packets using the interface. It then identifies the packet and proceeds to read as much data from the interface as necessary to create the packet which it then returns. This protocol relies on all the packets on the interface being fixed in length. For example, all the packets using the interface are a fixed size and contain a simple header with a 32-bit sync pattern followed by a 16 bit ID. The Fixed Protocol would elegantly handle this case with a minimum read size of 6 bytes. The Fixed Protocol also supports a sync pattern, discarding leading bytes, and filling the sync pattern similar to the Burst Protocol.</p>

 <p>The Length Protocol depends on a length field at a fixed location in the defined packets using the interface.

 <p>The most confusing aspect of the Length Protocol is calculating the Length Value Offset. This is especially true in the commonly used CCSDS Space Packet Protocol. The best way to illustrate this is with an example. Suppose you have CCSDS Space Packets prepended with a Sync Pattern of 0x1ACFFC1D. This would look like the following:</p>
-<table><thead><tr><th>Sync (4 bytes)</th><th>Header (4 bytes)</th><th>Length (2 bytes)</th><th>Data (4 bytes)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>0x1ACFFC1D</td><td>0x0001CADB</td><td>0x0003</td><td>0xDEADBEEF</td></tr></tbody></table>

 <p>In this case the total length of the packet is 14 bytes: <strong>4 + 4 + 2 + 4 = 14</strong>. With 4 bytes of data, the length field is 3 because in CCSDS the length field is calculated as (data length - 1). So how would we calculate the Length Value Offset? COSMOS reads all the bytes in the packet (including the Sync Pattern) so the total length is 14 bytes. The length field is 3 so the Length Value Offset (offset to apply to the length field value) should be 11 (<strong>3 + 11 = 14</strong>).</p>

 <p>This protocol is now deprecated because it is not able to capture the original SCPI messages in COSMOS raw logging. Please use the TemplateAccessor with the CmdResponseProtocol instead.</p>
-<p>The Template Protocol works much like the Terminated Protocol except it is designed for text-based command and response type interfaces such as SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). It delineates packets in the same way as the Terminated Protocol except each packet is referred to as a line (because each usually contains a line of text). For outgoing packets, a CMD_TEMPLATE field is expected to exist in the packet. This field contains a template string with items to be filled in delineated within HTML tag style brackets <code>&quot;&lt;EXAMPLE&gt;&quot;</code>. The Template Protocol will read the named items from within the packet and fill in the CMD_TEMPLATE. This filled in string is then sent out rather than the originally passed in packet. Correspondingly, if a response is expected the outgoing packet should include a RSP_TEMPLATE and RSP_PACKET field. The RSP_TEMPLATE is used to extract data from the response string and build a corresponding RSP_PACKET. See the TEMPLATE target within the COSMOS Demo configuration for an example of usage.</p>

 <p>Creating a custom protocol is easy and should be the default solution for customizing COSMOS Interfaces (rather than creating a new Interface class). However, creating custom Interfaces is still useful for defaulting parameters to values that always are fixed for your target and for including the necessary Protocols. The base COSMOS Interfaces take a lot of parameters that can be confusing to your end users. Thus you may want to create a custom Interface just to hard coded these values and cut the available parameters down to something like the hostname and port to connect to.</p>
-<p>All custom Protocols should derive from the Protocol class <a href="https://github.com/OpenC3/cosmos/blob/main/openc3/lib/openc3/interfaces/protocols/protocol.rb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">openc3/interfaces/protocols/protocol.rb</a> (Ruby) and <a href="https://github.com/OpenC3/cosmos/blob/main/openc3/python/openc3/interfaces/protocols/protocol.py" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">openc3/interfaces/protocols/protocol.py</a> (Python).

 <p>To really understand how Protocols work, you first must understand the logic within the base Interface class read and write methods.</p>
-<p>Let&#x27;s first discuss the read method.</p>

So a reference to STOP means <!-- -->:STOP<!-- --> in Ruby and &quot;STOP&quot; in Python.</p></div></div>
-<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" alt="Interface Read Logic" src="/tools/staticdocs/assets/images/interface_read_logic-0deef27c1d2fec9de2a3720a3c9ecedb21a00dca7aabd13da0b8815c037e4c26.png" width="1063" height="542" class="img__Ss2"></p>
-<p>On <em>every</em> call to read, an empty string &quot;&quot; is first passed down to each of the read Protocol&#x27;s <code>read_data()</code> method <em>before</em> new raw data is attempted to be read using the Interface&#x27;s <code>read_interface()</code> method. This is a signal to Protocols that have cached up more than one packet worth of data to output those cached packets before any new data is read from the Interface. Typically no data will be cached up and one of the Protocols <code>read_data()</code> methods will return STOP in response to the empty string, indicating that more data is required to generate a packet. Each Protocol&#x27;s <code>read_data()</code> method can return one of three things: data that will be passed down to any additional Protocols or turned into a Packet, STOP which means more data is required from the Interface for the Protocol to continue, or DISCONNECT which means that something has happened that requires disconnecting the Interface (and by default trying to reconnect). Each Protocol&#x27;s <code>read_data()</code> method is passed the data that will eventually be turned into a packet and returns a possibly modified set of data. If the data passes through all Protocol&#x27;s <code>read_data()</code> methods it is then converted into a COSMOS packet using the Interface&#x27;s convert_data_to_packet() method. This packet is then run in a similar fashion through each Read Protocol&#x27;s read_packet() method. This method has essentially the same return possibilities: a Packet (instead of data as in <code>read_data()</code>), STOP, or DISCONNECT. If the Packet makes it through all read_packet() methods then the Interface packet read counter is incremented and the Packet is returned to the Interface.</p>
-<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" alt="Interface Write Logic" src="/tools/staticdocs/assets/images/interface_write_logic-3360afe1b4af20b10dafba848a21e09baccaacc06e2ec8b6c132ac7a3c99e994.png" width="931" height="944" class="img__Ss2"></p>
-<p>The Interface write() method works very similarly to read. (It should be mentioned that by default write protocols run in the reverse order of read protocols. This makes sense because when reading you&#x27;re typically stripping layers of data and when writing you&#x27;re typically adding on layers in reverse order.)</p>
-<p>First, the packet write counter is incremented. Then each write Protocol is given a chance to modify the packet by its write_packet() method being called. This method can either return a potentially modified packet, STOP, or DISCONNECT. If a write Protocol returns STOP no data will be written out the Interface and it is assumed that more packets are necessary before a final packet can be output. DISCONNECT will disconnect the Interface. If the packet makes it through all the write Protocol&#x27;s write_packet() methods, then it is converted to binary data using the Interface&#x27;s convert_packet_to_data() method. Next the write_data() method is called for each write Protocol giving it a chance to modify the lower level data. The same return options are available except a Ruby string of data is returned instead of a COSMOS packet. If the data makes it through all write_data() methods, then it is written out on the Interface using the write_interface() method. Afterwards, each Protocol&#x27;s post_write_interface() method is called with both the final modified Packet, and the actual data written out to the Interface. This method allows follow-up such as waiting for a response after writing out a message.</p>

 <p>As you can see, every Protocol maintains state on at least two items. The interface variable holds the Interface class instance that the protocol is associated with. This is sometimes necessary to introspect details that only the Interface knows. allow_empty_data is a flag used by the <code>read_data(data)</code> method that is discussed later in this document.</p>
-<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_fF9Z" id="reset">reset<a href="#reset" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to reset" title="Direct link to reset"></a></h3>
+<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_fF9Z" id=reset>reset<a href=#reset class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to reset" title="Direct link to reset"></a></h3>
 <p>The reset method is used to reset internal protocol state when the Interface is connected and/or disconnected. This method should be used for common resetting logic. Connect and Disconnect specific logic are handled in the next two methods.</p>

 <p>The read_data method is used to analyze and potentially modify any raw data read by an Interface. It takes one parameter as the current state of the data to be analyzed. It can return either a string of data, STOP, or DISCONNECT. If it returns a string, then it believes that data may be ready to be a full packet, and is ready for processing by any following Protocols. If STOP is returned then the Protocol believes it needs more data to complete a full packet. If DISCONNECT is returned then the Protocol believes the Interface should be disconnected (and typically automatically reconnected).</p>

 <p>The base class implementation does nothing except return the data it was given. The only exception to this is when handling an empty string. If the allow_empty_data flag is false / False or if it is nil / None and the Protocol is the last in the chain, then the base implementation will return STOP to indicate that it is time to call the Interface <code>read_interface()</code> method to get more data. Blank strings are used to signal Protocols that they have an opportunity to return a cached packet.</p>

 <p>The read_packet method is used to analyze and potentially modify a COSMOS packet before it is returned by the Interface. It takes one parameter as the current state of the packet to be analyzed. It can return either a COSMOS packet, STOP, or DISCONNECT. If it returns a COSMOS packet, then it believes that the packet is valid, should be returned, and is ready for processing by any following Protocols. If STOP is returned then the Protocol believes the packet should be silently dropped. If DISCONNECT is returned then the Protocol believes the Interface should be disconnected (and typically automatically reconnected). This method is where a Protocol would set the stored flag on a packet if it determines that the packet is stored telemetry instead of real-time telemetry.</p>

 <p>The write_packet method is used to analyze and potentially modify a COSMOS packet before it is output by the Interface. It takes one parameter as the current state of the packet to be analyzed. It can return either a COSMOS packet, STOP, or DISCONNECT. If it returns a COSMOS packet, then it believes that the packet is valid, should be written out the Interface, and is ready for processing by any following Protocols. If STOP is returned then the Protocol believes the packet should be silently dropped. If DISCONNECT is returned then the Protocol believes the Interface should be disconnected (and typically automatically reconnected).</p>

-<p>The post_write_interface method is called after data has been written out the Interface. The typical use of this method is to provide a hook to implement command/response type interfaces where a response is always immediately expected in response to a command. It takes two parameters, the packet after all modifications by <code>write_packet()</code> and the data that was actually written out the Interface. It can return either the same pair of packet/data, STOP, or DISCONNECT. If it returns a packet/data pair then they are passed on to any other Protocols. If STOP is returned then the Interface write() call completes and no further Protocols <code>post_write_interface()</code> methods are called. If DISCONNECT is returned then the Protocol believes the Interface should be disconnected (and typically automatically reconnected). Note that only the first parameter &quot;packet&quot;, is checked to be STOP, or DISCONNECT on the return.</p>
