● Example of communication “with procedure”
The GC8000 sends “Input command prompt (#T)” at an interval of 8 seconds.
<When any data of analysis value, calibration factor or alarm is communicated.>
In the case of “with procedure” and upon outputting analysis value (concentration/calculation),
calibration factor, or alarm data, the GC8000 issues the relevant data packet to DCS by the
following procedure.
 Normal comminucation
(1) When the GC8000 is ready to send data to DCS, the GC8000 fi rst sends “Data receiving
request (#E)” to DCS.
(2) Upon receiving “Data transmission request (#A)” from DCS, the GC8000 sends all data.
After the completion, the GC8000 sends “Data transmission completion (#F).”

 When not receiving “Data transmission request (#A or #R)”
If the GC8000 does not receive “Data transmission request (#A or #R)” from DCS for about
3 seconds after sending “Data receiving request (#E)”, the GC8000 sends “Data receiving
request (#E)” again. The GC8000 repeats the same request up to six times (7 times in total)
until the GC8000 receives a reply from DCS. If it does not receive any reply, the GC8000
sends “Data transmission completion (#F)” to DCS.
