CONVENTIONS
The notation in this manual uses angular brackets (< >), to represent
single byte character
values
which are equivalent. See ASCII Table in appendix A. For special keys or some non-
printable characters, the ASCII symbol for the character name is shown between angular
brackets.
Example:
<ESC> means the ESC key character byte
<STX> means the start transmission character byte
<space> means the whitespace character
For non-printable characters, the decimal value of the character byte is shown
between angular brackets.
Example:
<13><10> = Carriage Return character byte, Line Feed character byte
The following representations using these three methods are equivalent:
<ESC> = <27> = <1B
H
>
and each send character byte 0x1B to the reader
The program used to generate the strings for Host Mode Programming must be able to
manage them correctly.
