Communication Response Time
„ DRQ input
The data read in response to a DRQ input is the buffered data that DL-RS1A periodically retrieves
from the sensor amplifiers.
Therefore, the latest data detected by the sensors can only be read after T2 (DL-RS1A data
processing time) where DL-RS1A retrieves data from the sensor amplifiers.

Communication Response Time
Time Frames of Communication Response Time
This section describes the communication time frames (T2 to T6).
The maximum time required is shown for each time frame. However, depending on
the actual environment, it may require more time.
„ T2 (DL-RS1A data processing time)
„ T3 (Command send time from external device)
Refer to the manual supplied with the external device connected to DL-RS1A.
„ T4 (DL-RS1A command processing time)
The processing time varies according to the command sent from the external device.
