Communications Test with Host Device
The TEST command is used to perform a communications test of the communications between the
Controller and host device. This test enables the cable connections and processing operation of com-
munications to be checked before the trial operation of the whole system.
1. Create a simple communications program on the host device and send the TEST command (TS).
If the communications line is normal, the Controller will return the data it received.
Refer TEST Command (TS) for details on the TEST command.
