Appendix A 30 User s Programming Guide Serial Commands General Serial Command Format Serial Commands are only accepted by the PSC scanner when in serial communications mode Serial commands take the form STX ESC LT1 LT2 optional param eters gt ETX Note STX B ETX C STX ESC and ETX are ASCII codes whose values are 02H 1BH and 03H respectively LT1 and LI2 are uppercase ASCII letters commer cial A and are the same as those printed in earlier sections of this manual under their corresponding menu bar code labels The ESC code that follows the STX code identifies this as a command Some commands require parameters such as minimum and maximum code lengths and strings of hexadecimal characters When parameters are required by the command they immediately follow LT2 There are never spaces within serial commands ACK NAK The scanner provides ACK NAK protocol during serial program ming in order to provide feedback to the host computer which is pro gramming the scanner ACK NAK protocol provides two vital functions First it provides the host with positive acknowledgment that its commands are being accepted and acted upon Second and perhaps more important it ensures that the host will not issue commands to the scanner more quickly than the scanner can process them For example every time the scanner receives a correct command it modifies its internal EEPROM a function that takes about one second At 960
