  • Page 183 ■ Phase 2 with NAK If the sending station receives a NAK from the receiving station in response to a transmission block containing text data m, it sends that transmission block again immediately as shown below. If the sending station receives an ACK before receiving a NAK 10 times in succes- sion, it continues the subsequent message transmission.

  • Page 185 ■ Abnormal termination of phase 2 (Abort of phase 2) If the sending station receives no ACK from the receiving station after sending an ENQ nine times in succession, it sends an EOT to the receiving station after 3 seconds from the 9th ENQ to terminate this transmission sequence abnormally. Sending station 3 seconds...
  • Page 186 ■ Phase 3 with iterated EOT transmission due to no response or invalid response If the sending station receives no response or any invalid response from the receiving station in response to an EOT sent, it iterates sending of an EOT at three- second intervals up to ten times.

  • Page 187: 2 ] Aborting Data Transmission

    Appendices [ 2 ] Aborting Data Transmission Pressing the C key aborts data transmission. If the C key is pressed during downloading, the BHT transmits an EOT and aborts the file transmission. If it is pressed during uploading, the BHT transmits the current transmission block followed by EOT and then aborts the file transmission.

  • Page 188: 3 ] Bcc For Horizontal Parity Checking

    [ 3 ] BCC for Horizontal Parity Checking To check whether data has been transmitted accurately, the BHT supports horizontal parity checking for every transmission block. In horizontal parity checking, a horizontal parity byte so called BCC (Block Check Character) is suffixed to an ETX of every transmission block. In the BHT-protocol, every parity bit of BCC is set so that all set bits at the same bit level (including a parity bit) in the characters contained in the transmission block have an even number by binary addition, excluding SOH, STX, and functions SOH$ and...

  • Page 191 ■ Abnormal termination of phase 1 (Abort of phase 1) If the sending station receives no sequence of DLE ACK and IDs from the receiving station after sending a sequence of DLE ENQ and IDm 60 times in succession, it sends a sequence of DLE EOT and IDm to the receiving station after 0.5 second from the 60th sequence of DLE ENQ and IDm, then aborts the message transmis- sion abnormally.
  • Page 192 Phase 2: Data Transmission ■ Normal phase 2 The sending station first sends a transmission block containing the heading text. Each time the sending station receives a sequence of DLE ACK and IDs from the receiving station, it sends a transmission block containing the data texts as shown below.
  • Page 193 ■ Phase 2 with suspension of data reception for erasure of the flash memory If the receiving BHT requires the flash memory to be erased for receiving downloaded files, it sends a sequence of WACK and IDs to the sending station to suspend the data transmission.

  • Page 197 ■ Phase 3 with iterated transmission of DLE EOT and IDs due to no re- sponse or invalid response If the sending station receives no response or any invalid response from the receiving station in response to the sent sequence of DLE EOT and IDs, it iterates sending of the sequence at 0.5-second intervals up to 60 times.

    ■ Phase 3 with timeout at the receiving station If the receiving station receives no subsequent text or normal sequence of DLE EOT and IDs within 30 seconds after sending a sequence of DLE ACK and IDs, it sends a sequence of DLE EOT and IDs and aborts the transmission abnormally.

    [ 3 ] CRC To check whether data has been transmitted accurately, the BHT-Ir protocol supports CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which employs the CRC-16 generating system. In CRC, a CRC character is suffixed to a sequence of DLE ETX of every transmission block. Operands for CRC-16 The CRC generates CRC-16 from all bytes of a transmission block excluding DLE SOH or DLE STX characters (which are at the head of a transmission block), DLE character...
