Page 5: Introduction
Section 1 Introduction This manual explains how to control the AR-3000R using RS-232C. For details on the operation of the AR-3000R itself, refer to the AR-3000R owner's manual. This manual assumes that you have a basic understanding of computers. For explanations of computer terminology or operation, please refer to commercially available manuals. -
Page 6: Setup
Section 2 Setup 2.1 About the RS-232C Interface RS-232C is a standardized type of serial interface. The connections which are used by the AR-3000R are discussed below. 2.1.1 Connector and Cable Connector specifications Cable specifications *2 *1. These are already connected in inside of the AR-3000R. (4–6 and 7–8) *2. -
Page 7: 2.5 Computer Settings
Baud Rate If the AR-3000R's power is turned on when a card is not inserted, the baud rate will default to 9600 bps. If a card is then inserted, the settings will change to the settings which are contained in the card. -
Page 8: Overview Of Commands
Depending on the command, four types of communication protocol are used between the computer and the AR-3000R. As also explained in chapter 4, the ACK referred to in this document is ASCII code 06H (ACK), and the ER command is a command that transmits/receives an error. -
Page 9: Command Format
If no error has occurred, transmit the command you wish to execute. d. To confirm, the AR-3000R will send back the command that it received in step “c”. e. If the command is correct, send an ACK. This will cause the command to be executed. Then, after receiving the command, the AR-3000R will automatically exit Delete mode. -

Example) Time: 00H00M06S14F7S / 05M40S / 00S04F / 30S0 _. 3.2 Precautions 1) After you make settings, erase, or copy, we recommend that you call up the AR-3000R internal memory data and check the contents. 2) While the computer and the AR-3000R are communicating, please avoid the following actions, which could result in destruction of the data in the card. -
Page 11: Details Of Each Command
LW: Recorded Phrase Protect Mode Convert Card In Delete mode, when a command other than an Edit command is received by the AR-3000R, it will automatically exit Delete mode, and execute that command. If the AR-3000R receives an Edit command when not in Delete mode, it will transmit an ER command, and ignore the Edit command that was received. -
Page 12: 4.2 Details Of Commands Sent From The External Device (Computer) To The Ar-3000R
4) Request commands This command causes the AR-3000R to output the status of its current settings. When a Request command is transmitted to the AR-3000R, the AR-3000R will transmit the requested contents as the Setting output command. In this case, an ACK will not be returned. However for the AC and AQ commands, an ACK will be output. -
