Command List
Socket number
This unit has two sets of sockets (buffers) for
commands, so that up to two commands including the
commands currently being executed can be received.
When this unit receives commands, it notifies the
sender which socket was used, using the socket number
of the Acknowledge message. As each of the
completion message and error message also has a
socket number, you can identify which command has
ended.
When sending the commands continuously, be sure to
wait until an Acknowledge message or error message of
the first command is returned, then send the next
command. (Otherwise, it is impossible to identify to
which command the socket number belongs.)
Even when two sockets are being used, the device
setting commands and some inquiry messages can be
executed. The Acknowledge message is not returned
for these commands and inquiries, and only the
completion message of socket number 0 is returned.
Command execution cancel
To cancel a command which has already been sent,
send a Cancel command as the next command.
