S Operation When Using Instructions
The flow of communications between the host and the NT31/NT31C follows one
of the three patterns indicated below, depending on the types of command and
the settings made for “response” with the memory switches (see page 181).
- Pattern with write command when “No” is set for the response
Command transmission
[Operation at host]

mand when response ”Yes” is set.
