1.3 Command format and answer format

This unit shall be based on commands each of which consists of a data row ( some commands
are without a PC ) composed of command codes ( CC ) and parameter codes ( PC ) . The
trans-mitting station shall be designed to send block check characters ( BCC ) following ETX,
with the data row enclosed in STX ( text start : 02h ) and ETX ( text termination : 03h ) .
The receiving station shall regard receipt of BCC as the completion of command reception when
it has received STX.

Here are the formats.

Commands : <--------->
STX (Start of TeXt) : 02h
CC (Command Code) : Command code
PC (Parameter Code) : Defined for each command
( contents and number of parameters )
ETX (End of TeXt) : 03h
BCC (Block Check Character) :
CC + PC0 + PC1 + PC2 + --------------- + PCn + ETX = XYh
(Each of X and Y is 4 bit long ) X , Y=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
BCCH ( high-level byte ) = X as converted to an ASCII code
BCCL ( low-level byte ) = Y as converted to an ASCII code

Answers : <-------->
STX (Start of TeXt) : 02h
RC (Reply Code) : Reply code (=Command code)
AC (Answer Code) : Answer code
PC (Parameter Code) : Defined for each command
( contents and number of parameters )
ETX (End of TeXt) : 03h
BCC (Block Check Character) :
RC +AC + PC0 + PC1 + PC2 + ------------- + PCn + ETX = XYh
(Each of X and Y is 4 bit long) X , Y=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
BCCH ( high-level byte ) = X as converted to an ASCII code
BCCL ( low-level byte ) = Y as converted to an ASCII code


1.4 Protocol for data transmission and reception

This unit is based on half-duplex communication. The unit shall therefore transmit commands
and receive answers according to the following procedure.


1.4.1 Basic procedure
1) The host shall select commands for this unit and transmit them to this unit. Command
interval time is MIN 40 sec.

2) Having issued a command, the host shall receive an answer from this unit, then issue the
next command.

3) The host shall analyze the RC, AC, and PC as answers given and decide whether the
command has been normally executed.

4) The host shall give an answer to a command that gives operational instructions, then
issue a status request command, and decide whether this unit has finished operating with
regard to the command that gives operational instructions.

Specification for Serial Interface DVDA1UD


5) The time from the start of command transmission to the end of command transmission
should be max 40 msec.

6) The time from the completion of command transmission to the start of answer-back is
MAX.60 m 5sec.

7) This unit cannot receive any commands for about 5 seconds after the power switch is
turnied on.


1.4.2 Communication errors
1) Having received a command, which results in a communication error ( overrun, framing,
or parity error ) , this unit shall give NAK ( 15h ) . ( MAX 80ms from the start of
command transmission )

2) If the host has received NAK from this unit, it shall retransmit the command that it has
transmitted immediately beforehand.

3) Having received an answer, which results in a communication error ( overrun, framing, or
parity error ) , the host shall respond with NAK.

4) If it has received NAK from the host, this unit shall retransmit the answer it has
transmitted immediately beforehand. ( MAX 40ms)

5) When there is no answer from the unit within 6s, the host shall retransmit the command.
