4. Communication Protocol
4.1 Transmission Packet Structure
▶It can communicated with common serial terminal software and Command based
communication, also using checksum to allow error detection.
▶Index Header: Command and Response ‘#’, Notification ‘$’. If command line does not
start with #, it will consider to not having Index.
▶Index: Command Response Notification indexing number (10) decimal 1~5 digits
(0~65535)
▶Command/Response/Notification: ASCII code consist of 2 special characters and small
letters, between 0x5F~0x7A, See Command and Response/Notification list
▶Parameter: determined by number of Command/Response/Notification, each parameter
is separated by space
▶Checksum: displayed in hexadecimal with capital A~P. Add byte from Index header to
Checksum in 2 byte size. expressed in 4 digits hexadecimal. Simplified hexadecimal so that
doesn’t use (0~9)(A~F). Use continues A~P , take 4 bits from each checksum byte and
add A to convert it. (see Appendix 1 -example)
▶Carriage Return: ‘/r’ text sent as a packet terminal indication, see Terminal settings.
4.2 Transfer Procedure
▶Transferring side: Command
▶Reception Side: Reception Command/ execution and then transfer /execution results
Response
▶After sending Command if there is no response for 10ms, then Time-Out.
▶Time-Out or error responses, 3 times further repeated transfer and then give up. Communication
error .
▶Notification is sent to indicate a state changes from device to the host.
