\n<\/h4>\n
\nA USB HID Report Descriptor is requested by a USB host from a USB device. It tells the host how to interpret the report data packets the device sends to it. It includes:\n<\/p>\n
\nHow many packets the device supports\n<\/p>\n
\nPacket sizes\n<\/p>\n
\nThe purpose of each byte in each packet\n<\/p>\n
\nThe HID Report
\n<\/h4>\n
\nAn example USB HID Report Descriptor\n<\/p>\n

\nUSAGE_PAGE\n<\/p>\n
\nYou first set a usage page. Above it is using 'Generic Desktop'\n<\/p>\n
\nUSAGE_PAGE page is much like a namespace.\n<\/p>\n
\nSee "HID Usage" in the specs.\n<\/p>\n
\nUSAGE\n<\/p>\n
\nA usage from the available usages in the usage page setting\n<\/p>\n
\nCOLLECTION\n<\/p>\n
\nAllows you to define different groups of related attributes etc\n<\/p>\n
\nINPUT\n<\/p>\n
\nData,Var,Abs\n<\/p>\n
\nAdd the above data variables to the report\n<\/p>\n
\nCnst,Var,Abs\n<\/p>\n
\nAdd the above constant variables to the report (e.g. padding bits to byte align for the next data section)\n<\/p>\n
