CYCLE 
Standard command cycle 
Start cycle command on the ATEQ device 
— 
Select the program you want to start 
— 
Activate the “Start” command: 
Write at the address 00(h), the value 0002(h) 
Byte 0 = 02(h) (Bit 1 = 1)  
Byte 1 = 00(h) 
Acknowledgement 
Command echo: 
— 
Byte 0 = 02(h) (Bit 1 = 1) 
— 
Byte 1 = 00(h) 
 
Command error code: 
— 
Byte 2 = FF(h) 
— 
Byte 3 = FF(h) 
(if command error code = FFFF(h), command is in 
progress) 
Command finished 
Command echo: 
— 
Byte 0 = 02(h) (Bit 1 = 1) 
— 
Byte 1 = 00(h) 
 
Command error code if the command is correctly 
carried out: 
— 
Byte 2 = 00(h) 
— 
Byte 3 = 00(h) 
OR if an error occurred during the command: 
— 
Byte 2 = 02(h) (Bit 1 = 1) 
— 
Byte 3 = 00(h) 
— 
Wait the end of the command: 
command echo = 0002(h) 
command error code ≠ FFFF(h) (end of command) 
— 
Deactivate the “Start” command: 
Write at the address 00(h) the value 0000(h) 
Byte 0 = 00(h) (Bit 1 = 0) 
Byte 1 = 00(h) 
 
The master instrument must always set to zero the command bit. If it is not done, the slave instrument 
will not detect the following command on this bit. It has detection on the rising edge (when the bit 
state goes from 0 to 1).
