What is the genral opinion about using ACK_TIMER for... - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

It is allowed to do this, but obviously not preferred. Make sure you pay attention to all the messages where ACK_TIMER is not allowed.

Also, for any message that is ACK_TIMER I would make sure to have it cached for a reasonable amount of time in case the controller comes back asking for it again rather than collecting it with QUEUED_MESSAGE.

Yes, understood.

My understanding is that only discovery messages are not alowed ACK_TIMER.

I don't think they (software guru) meant that the ACK_TIMER will be very long. It is just that he can't meet the realtime responce requirements so he might need maybe a ms or 2.
