2) When the data contains errors or the a problem
occurs in the unit, the nature of the errors or the

2 (32H) : Cassette up/down error
3 (33H) : Loading error
4 (34H) : Drum or capstan system error
5 (35H) : Reel system error
6 (36H) : Tension system error

(3) Receiving format (unit

PC)
The unit responds to a send command with the
following format data.
1. First, the unit returns the data that indicates
whether the command from the PC was
received properly.
1) In the case of error-free communication, the unit
returns ACK (acknowledge) data.
[ACK]
06H
2) If there is an error in the communication, the unit
returns data starting with NAK (negative
acknowledge character code 15H).
If data is being sent, the unit returns NAK after
the data has been sent.
The unit then destroys all the received data with
the error.
[NAK]

Content of
(
1 (31H): Parity error
2 (32H): Data overflow error
3 (33H): Framing error
4 (34H): Overrun error
2. After the unit has returned ACK when the
communication was error-free, the unit operates
as follows to return the data with the following
format.
1) The response data (return data) format used
when the commands from the PC have been
received properly by the unit is as follows:
[STX] [data] [ETX]

operations carefully.
It is recommended that the unit be controlled while
