▶ Index: Command Response Notification indexing number (10) decimal 1~5 digits
(0~65535)
▶ Command/Response/Notification: ASCII code consist of 2 special characters and small
letters, between 0x5F~0x7A, See Command and Response/Notification list
▶ Parameter: determined by number of Command/Response/Notification, each parameter
is separated by space
▶ Checksum: displayed in hexadecimal with capital A~P. Add byte from Index header to
Checksum in 2 byte size. expressed in 4 digits hexadecimal. Simplified hexadecimal so that
doesn’t use (0~9)(A~F). Use continues A~P , take 4 bits from each checksum byte and
add A to convert it. (see Appendix 1 -example)
▶ Carriage Return: ‘/r’ text sent as a packet terminal indication, see Terminal settings.
4.2 Transfer Procedure
▶ Transferring side: Command
▶ Reception Side: Reception Command/ execution and then transfer /execution results
