Caution
Note that all command texts are lower-case characters.
When the host transmits a command, be sure to append a delimiter (<CR><LF>) at the end of the
command.
BF500 always appends a prompt with an ID (hereafter, ID prompt) “nn>”(nn is a communication ID
number allocated to the BF500) to the data to be transmitted in response to any command. Since any
delimiter will not be appended to an ID prompt, regard a communication session has been completed
between BF500 and the host when the host receives an ID prompt.
Bracketed symbols such as <CR> or <LF> later in this document. These symbols will be explained
briefly in the following sections. Bracketed symbols are: <ESC>, <CR>, <LF> and <BEL> . All of them
correspond to ASCII control codes as shown below:
