Terminator

The header code and text depend on the Host Link command that was received.
The end code indicates the completion status of the command (e.g., whether or
not an error has occurred).

When the response is longer than 131 characters, it will be divided into more
than one frame. A carriage return delimiter (

↵

, CHR$(13)) instead of a terminator

will automatically be set at the end of the frame. A terminator will be set at the end
of the last frame.

@

An “@” symbol is placed at the beginning of every response.

Node no.

The PC’s node number set in DM 6648 of the PC Setup.

Header code

The 2-character command code is returned.

Text

The results of the command are returned.

FCS

The 2-character Frame Check Sequence code is returned.

Terminator

Two characters, “

” and the carriage return (CHR$(13)) indicate the

end of the response.

FCS (Frame Check Sequence) When a frame is transmitted, an FCS code is placed just before the delimiter or

terminator in order to check whether an error has occurred in the transmission.
The FCS is 8-bit data converted into two ASCII characters. The 8-bit data is the
result of an EXCLUSIVE OR performed on the data from the beginning of the
frame until the end of the text in that frame (i.e., just before the FCS). Calculating
the FCS each time a frame is received and checking the result against the FCS
that is included in the frame makes it possible to check for data errors in the
frame.
