XTC/3 Operating Manual

Response Error Code = 1 byte ASCII

A= Illegal Command

B = Illegal parameter value

C = Illegal ID

D = Illegal format

E = Data not available

F = Cannot do now (some commands require XTC/3 to be
in Ready/Stop).

L = Length Error, must be greater than 0 and equal to or
less than 57,800.

O = Not enough room for response size.

P = Prior command failed (if one command of a multiple command
packet fails, none of the following commands will be done, and this
error code will be returned).

Packet Error Code = 1 byte ASCII.

C – invalid checksum

F – illegal format (too many bytes for the commands requested or
missing value in command)

I – invalid message

L – Length Error, must be greater than 0 and equal to or less
than 57,800.

M – too many commands (Only 100 allowed)

Checksum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 byte, sum, modulo 256, of all bytes,

including CCB, Timer, and Response
Message but not including length.

Timeouts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If more than 3 seconds pass between

characters of a command packet, XTC/3
will time out. No response packet is sent,
XTC/3 will clear its buffers and assume any
future characters are the beginning of a
new packet.
