3. Transmission Control Characters
Symbol Name Code Detail
STX Start of text 02H Indicates the start of the text.
ETX End of text 03H Indicates the end of the text.
R Read 52H The command to read a request.
W Write 57H The command to write a request.
ACK Acknowledge Character 06H Transmits a reply when data is properly received.
NAK Negative Acknowledge 15H Transmits a replay in case of a receiving error.
Note)
R: Read (command to read settings or measured values)
W: Write (command to write set values)
R commands can be communicated at all times in all modes.
W commands can be communicated in regular mode only, and the parameters that can be set
depend on the operation state (during operation). See "7. List of Identifiers/Commands."
4. Transmission Control Procedures
4.1 Communication Procedure
・This unit returns a "reply message" to a "request message" from the host computer but does not start
transmission.
・This unit does not start communication (no reply) for about four seconds after the power is turned on.
Set a delay until communication begins after the power is turned on.
