MES : Following the mode setting, measures one time Displays the measured value and outputs from the RS-232C terminal.
- Page 9 In case to use in RS-232C two-way communications mode, it is recommended to carry out OPEN and CLOSE of RS port before or after transmitting one command. In case to use in RS-232C two-way communications mode, the consumption current increases comparing to the normal use. Especially if connected with the RS port of the personal computer side OPEN, electric current is consumed even if communication is not carried out, so pay attention.
- Page 10 When the above-mentioned command (+ data) + delimiter is inputted from the control side, this product acts corresponding to the command and consecu- tively outputs the error check code (+ data) + delimiter. The delimiter is CR + LF and the break point of the data is a comma. The input and output is carried out with a format of fixed length determined for each command.

- Page 21 ¨ Being viewed from the CS-100A side, in case that the CTS becomes H, Set RTS to H if receiving is possible, and receives the data. In case that 1 packet is received, set RTS to L. In case that the edge of CTS enters during the command treatment, on the CS- 100A side, the receiving treatment starts when interrupt is still in during execution or after completing treatment.
