AR-200S RS-232C Reference -

4) Request commands

This command causes the AR-200S to output the status of its current settings. When a Request

command is transmitted to the AR-200S, the AR-200S will transmit the requested contents as

the Setting output command. In this case, an ACK will not be returned. However for the AC

and AQ commands, an ACK will be output. If the command was not correct, an ER command

will be returned.

5) Reply commands

Reply commands are necessary for communication control, for example to notify that a

command was received correctly.
