6.5 ABx Fast Protocol

The ABx Fast protocol differs from the Abx Standard Protocol in that the atomic data element is a byte

instead of a 16-bit word. ABx Fast commands and responses also contain a two-byte word to indicate the

size of the packet being sent. ABx Fast also supports the use of a one-byte checksum.

Packet Size

The ABx Fast protocol requires that the size of the packet be included following the terminator in every

packet. All parameters and data between the packet size byte and the checksum (if used), or terminator

bytes (if not using the checksum) must be accounted for in the packet size word. The packet size will be

the same with or without a checksum.

Checksum

The optional checksum must be enabled from the operating mode menu to be available. The checksum is

calculated by adding all the byte values in the packet (less the values in the header, checksum if present,

and terminator), discarding byte overflow, and subtracting the byte sum from FFH. Thus, when the packet

length through the checksum are added as byte values, the sum will be FFH.

Example

The following is a typical command using a checksum.

Header 0202H

Command Size 0003H

Command Code 01H

Timeout 07D0H
