+## Scan Chain Command
+Command "S00" - returns the number of boards present in the chain, excluding the master
+controller (Power Distributor)
  
+## Answers
+Answers are of the same format as requests, but starting with 'A' and controller "00".
  
-## Command Line Tool
+# Power Distributor Registers
+
+Distributor has controller number 0xFF, group 0, channel 0.
+All other addresses are forwarded to UART
