The right to send a frame is called the "transmission right." The Unit that has the
transmission right is the one that can send a frame at any given time. The trans-
mission right is traded back and forth between the host computer and the PC
each time a frame is transmitted. An example communications sequence be-
tween the host computer and PC is described below.
• The host computer sets a delimiter at the end of the first command frame and
transmits the frame.
• When the PC receives the delimiter, it returns the same delimiter to the host
computer.
• After receiving the delimiter from the PC, the host computer transmits the next
frame.
• The PC sets a delimiter at the end of the first response frame and transmits the
frame.
• When the host computer receives the delimiter, it returns the same delimiter to
the PC.
• After receiving the delimiter from the host computer, the PC transmits the next
frame.
• Long transmissions are managed by exchanging delimiters in this way. The
last frame ends with a terminator.

instruction will be executed after the response has been transmitted if TXD(––)
is executed while a response to a Host Link command is being returned to the
host computer.
