Example of the Program Created Using Visual-BASIC Version 6.0
In this sample program, command sending and response receiving are carried out by the
method for connection and sending and SendData method of Winsock control.
●
Preparation
Since this sample program uses Winsock control, it is necessary to assign the
Microsoft Winsock Control component. Refer to the user’s manual of Visual-Basic for
how to assign the component.

Sample Program
Normal status check, error processing and retry processing are omitted for this proce-
dure.
The program does not operate by the procedure described in this section only. Please
make it reference at the time of actual application creation.
