These commands serve to notify the host of the results of operation at the
NT620S/NT620C. Only these commands are issued by the NT620S/NT620C
and, therefore, there is no response for them.
The following four switches are available.
S Touch switch input notify command
S Numerical input notify command
S Character string input notify command
S PT status notify command
This command lets the NT620S/NT620C re-send a notify command. It is issued
from the host and the notify command issued last is re-sent from the NT620S/
NT620C.
S Re-send request command
This section describes the basic communication protocol when using memory
link and the program flow for using memory link, taking RS-232C communica-
tions using the BASIC language as an example.
Communication between the host and the NT620S/NT620C takes place in ac-
cordance with the following protocol.
(1) In order to perform communications, it is first necessary to open the commu-
nication line. "Opening" here means making the line usable.
(2) In accordance with the commands, the NT620S/NT620C is controlled or no-
tification is received from the NT620S/NT620C.
(3) To terminate communication, the communication line is closed.
