Definite-Length Block
Definite-length block response data allows any type of device-dependent
Response Data
data to be transmitted over the system interface as a series of 8-bit binary
data bytes. This is particularly useful for sending large quantities of data
or 8-bit extended ASCII codes. The syntax is a pound sign ( # ) followed
by a non-zero digit representing the number of digits in the decimal
integer. After the non-zero digit is the decimal integer that states the
number of 8-bit data bytes being sent. This is followed by the actual data.
For example, for transmitting 80 bytes of data, the syntax would be:
N U M B E R
O F
D I G I T S
T H A T F O L L O W
A C T U A L D A T A
b y t e s
o f
N U M B E R O F B Y T E S
T O
T R A N S M I T T E D
Figure 1-2. Definite-length Block Response Data
The "8" states the number of digits that follow, and 'WOOOO80" states the
number of bytes to be transmitted.
Indefinite-length block data is not supported on the HI?1652B/53B.
