Figure 2-5 Base Message Format

The elements of the message is as follows:

PAD-L -- The leading pad character. (One byte - 55H.)

SYN -- Synchronization character. At least three of these should be transmitted. (One byte each - 32H.)

STX -- Start of text block. (One byte - 02H.)

Data -- The message data is describe below in Figure 2-6.

ETX -- End of text block. (One byte - 03H.)

CRC-- Cyclic Redundancy Check. This is computed by an exclusive OR of the message from the SA to the ETX (inclusive). Detection of an STX starts the computation (but the STX is not included). Detection of an ETX stops the computation (and the ETX is included). (One byte.)

PAD-T -- The trailing pad character. (One byte - FFH.)

The message data is defined as follow:

02H ‘1’ ‘!’ ‘L’
