5 External Input/Output Function
No. 99MBC122A
Tips
• CRLF means CR (carriage return) plus LF (line feed).
• The output when an error occurs is "CH**,Error$$CRLF". $$ is the error code.
For details, see
"6.2.1 List of Error Codes" (page 56).
• After you have received a response output corresponding to the command, send the next command. If there
is no response from your command, clear the communication buer, wait 1 second or more, and then send
the command again.
• The RS Communication function will be suspended during key operations (e.g., setting parameters, the pre-
set value, or tolerance values). Command and data output operations will resume when the counter returns
to a state where counting is possible.
• To cancel the stand-by state, use "CS00CRLF" (all channels specied).
• You can perform the communication test to check a specic operation by sending an RS-232C command
from the keyboard to the counter using the Hyperterminal (software installed with Windows by default).
5.3.3 Saving and Loading Parameters
