When they reach pre-determined length: PACLEN

When the pre-set time is elapsed: PACTIME and relative CPACTIME

You may transmit different frames as one packet. The maximum number of these frames can be determined with
MAXFRAME command.

4-6-1 SENDPAC command
Abbrev.: SE default: $0D parameter: 0-$7F
example: SENDPAC $0D

In the converse mode, when the letter code specified with this parameter is entered, the letters preceding the

code are considered a complete packet (information frame=I frame) and will be sent out. Default is CR. The codes
set in this parameter won’t be included in the frame.

4-6-2 CR command
Abbrev. CR default: ON parameter: ON/OFF
example: CR ON

This command determines if the [CR] code is added (or not) at the end of the I-frame transmission. [CR] is

added if ON is chosen. [CR] won’t be added if OFF is chosen. Normally, the SENDPAC command does not
include [CR] when it makes an I frame, as it is already “$0D”=[CR]. In this case, when this parameter is ON, [CR]
is added after the I frame. As a result, the [CR] code will be left.

4-6-3 LFADD command
Abbrev. LF default OFF range ON/OFF
example LF ON

Selects adding LF code after CR code on I frame of sending packet.

ON: LF code is added.
OFF: LF code is not added.

4-6-4 PACLEN

command

Abbrev. P default: 128 parameter: 0-255
Example: P 78

When the number of input characters (bites to be exact) reach this parameter, the data will be considered as a

complete packet (I frame) and sent.

4-6-5 PACTIME

command

Abbrev. PACT default: AFTER 10 parameter: EVERY/AFTER 0-250
Example: PACT A 10

This command was originally for the transparent mode, which is not supported by this unit. When the

CPACTIME command, (which will be explained later) is set ON, this command becomes effective in the converse
mode.
The prefix EVERY (abbrev.E) is selected, the input characters will be considered as an I frame at every interval
identified in the parameter setting. The parameter is set in units of 100ms. Nothing will be sent if nothing is input
during the designated interval. If the prefix AFTER (abbrev. A) is selected, the packet(I frame) is sent after the
time set when the time identified by the number has elapsed.

4-6-6 CPACTIME

command

Abbrev. CP default: OFF parameter: ON/OFF
Example: CP OFF

This is to determine if the PACTIME command becomes effective (or not) while in the converse mode. The
