When using a computer, serial communications are possible using Hyper Terminal included as standard with Window™ 95 and later.

distinction between capital and small letters, but the two must not be combined.

through this code.
Some commands may include parameters (arguments), but as commands also serve to terminate parameters, be sure to place
parameters before the command and do not include spaces, etc. The maximum length of commands including arguments is 49
characters.

2 Command transmission and reply message
When the DN-V1700 receives a command and completes the instructed task or when an error occurs, the DN-V1700 returns a reply
message to the controller. There are three types of reply messages:
• Task completed message “R” indicating that the task has been completed normally
• “R” indicating a status message in reply to a status request command + terminator
• Error message “E✽✽” indicating that an error has occurred.
A 2-digit number following the “E” in the error message indicates the error type.
✽ The message “OK” is returned after the power is turned on or the system is rebooted.
