Overview of Commands
A command consists of an ASCII code sequence containing "stx, " three uppercase letters, and a semicolon (";"). The three letters
indicate the command type.
If the command has an argument, a colon (":") is inserted between the command letters and the argument. When multiple
arguments occur, they are separated by commas (", " ).
"stx"
This is the ASCII code signal name (code number 02H [hexadecimal]) and code that signals the command start. Your device's stx
command may not be the ASCII letters "stx" or "02H". Refer to your RS-232C controller's manual to send proper command.
":"
This is the code to separate the command and its argument.
";"
This is the code to make V-800HD recognize the end of a command.
* The codes of stx(02H) & ACK(06H) or Xon(11H) / Xoff(13H) are the control codes.
* If the external device sends multiple commands to the V-800HD sequentially, it must wait for ACK to be returned before sending the next
command.
