Commands do not have program mode responses. They do not
return a response to a port configured for console mode response
only, unless the 1260-00C detects an error condition.
Console mode command responses are self-explanatory, and are
not described in this manual.
Queries have both program and console mode responses.
Program mode query responses are fixed-field formatted with
commas delimiting the fields. For example, the list of logical
addresses returned by the Laddrs? query is returned as groups
of three characters (to allow the field to accommodate the valid
range of 0 to 254) separated by commas. The values are
right-justified and padded with the ASCII space character ( ) (20h).
For example, Logical Address 45 would be returned as ( )
Unless otherwise noted, all returned values are decimal.
Console mode query responses are self-explanatory, and are not
described in this manual.
The query response line termination sequence, shown in the query
descriptions as <CRLF>, indicates an ASCII 0Dh followed by 0Ah.
Command syntax and execution errors are reported to the port
where the command originated. If the program response mode is
enabled, the 1260-00C returns an error message in the following
format:
$ <error code><CRLF>
The distinguishing characteristic of a program mode error
message is the leading dollar sign character ($). A list of error
code descriptions is given in Appendix E, Error Codes.
If the console response mode is enabled, the 1260-00C returns an
error message in the following format:
