CONTROLS FORMAT DESCRIPTION:
The double quotes enclose constant characters (obser
ve upper and lower case); the <and> symbols
contain variable numeric fields.

In the case of communication error or otherwise unrecognized command from DAT 400, it will respond
with the following string:
FIELDS DECRIPTION
The double quotes enclose constant characters (obser
ve upper and lower case); the <and> symbols
contain variable numeric fields.
<addr> = Serial communication address of the instrument; it is the ASCII character obtained by adding
80h to the number of address (i.e. address 1: <Addr> = 80h + 01h = 81h).
<csum> = checksum of the string data. It is calculated by performing the exclusive OR (XOR) of all cha-
racters from <Addr> to ETX excluded the latter; the result of the XOR is decomposed into 2 characters
by considering separately the upper 4 bits (first character) and lower 4 bits (second character); the
2 characters obtained are then ASCII encoded (example: XOR = 5Dh; <csum> = “5Dh” namely 35h
and 44h).
ETX (end of text) = 0x03h,
EOT (end of transmission) = 0x04h,
ACK (acknowledgment) = 0x06h,
NAK (No acknowledgment) = 0x15h.
