The unit sends back "NAK code 15H", followed by the parameters. The unit then resets the reception buffer and enters the
waiting mode for the next message. Parameter "e" identifies the error status.
[p] stands for parameter. Parameters are omitted when the command does not need to specify them.
2. Response Command
The unit returns messages to the PC with the following formats.
(1) Reception Command
When the reception was completed successfully, the unit sends back the "ACK code 06H" to the PC, and then the
response command.
