[STX]   [Response Command] : [E] [R] [n1] [n2] [n3] [ETX] Parameters are omitted when the command format includes neither data nor status to send back.
(2) Reception Error
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.
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The following pages detail the elements for communication between the unit and the PC. 
When operating the PC, make sure to conform the serial ports communication speed to that of the unit.
The units communication speed is configurable by changing COM. SPEED in SETUP MENU.  Data, parity and stop bits have
been set as follows:
