Communication Procedures
The following is the communication procedures.

1. Starting the communication

Receives the connection command (!BCN1Cr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC

2. Performing the external control

Receives the control command (!XXXXCr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
* The monitor repeats these receiving and sending if necessary.

3. Terminating the communication

Receives the termination command (!BCN0Cr) [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC

* After sending the data to the monitor, the PC must first receive the data from the monitor and then send the next command

because the communication is performed in a hand-shake system. If the PC does not receive the status from the monitor after
sending the command, re-send the command.
