text = 02h). The command is then identified
by COMMAND which follows, and the data is
added as required.
The command ends with ETX (end of text =
03h).
2When a different command is to be sent, a
response is awaited from the VTR, and then
the command is sent. (See page 124.)
3If STX is sent again before ETX is sent, the
receive data buffer inside the VTR is cleared.
A command error is returned to the
controller, and the data is newly processed
with STX which was received again at the
head.
