B Send commands and data returned from VTR
Although the response data (see item 1) in (3)
Receiving format on page 27) is returned when a
command is sent properly, operation may not always
correspond to the executed command even when the
VTR has returned its response. For instance, when
the play command ([STX] OPL [ETX}) is sent while the
VTR's power is OFF, the return data ([STX] OPL
[ETX]) will be sent back from the VTR but the
playback mode will not be established because the
power is off.
In a situation like this, the VTR status can be checked
using the VTR status sense command ([STX] QOP
[ETX]).
Care should be taken to avoid this kind of mistake
because an error code will be returned from the VTR
and it will take some time to pinpoint the cause of the
error.
1. When the space has been omitted
Example: [STX] SCS : 1425128 [ETX]
in this example, the command is intended to
search the position on the tape corresponding to
1 hour 42 minutes 51 seconds 28 frames and
then establish the still mode. However, a space
must be input after [:] for any search in the +
direction.
The correct format of the command is:
[STX] SCS : 1425128 [ETX]
1
Space
2. When the allowable data range is exceeded
Example: [STX] SPT : 1107015 [ETX]
t
In this example, the second data (70) has been
input incorrectly.
A value from 0 to 59 must be input.
. When any of the following commands has been
sent, the commands which can be acknowledged
until processing is complete are restricted. Bear in
mind that with the exception of the special
commands (апу command which aborts
processing) listed in the following table, an error
code will be returned.

B Interval between a send command and the next send command
The model AG-5710 is a VTR equipped with multiple
microconrollers. Time (approx. 150ms) is required to
execute any command which causes the system
control microcontroller inside the VTR to perform
some kind of processing since such a command
entails communication between the RS-232C
interface microcontroller and the system control
microcontroller inside the VTR.
Listed to the right are the commands which cause the -
system control microcontroller to perform processing
in some way: leave ап interval of at least 150ms
before sending another command from the personal
computer.
