Outline of send procedure from controller

The send command starts with STX (start of text = 02h). The

command is then identified by COMMAND, which follows,

and the required amount of data. The format ends with ETX

(end of text = 03h).

Additional commands are sent upon receiving a response

from the recorder.

If an additional STX is received prior to sending ETX, the

reception data buffer in the recorder is cleared. An error is

then returned to the controller, the data is then processed

again after receiving data starting with STX.
