as shown in the IC6's manual
(placement of spaces within
the command string is
important)
b. B = illegal value b. The parameter's value sent
is outside the range for the

g. G = Bad checksum g. Checksum value does not
match the value sent by the
host's application program,
may be caused by noise on the
RS232 cable or the checksum
is not calculated properly by
the applications program
h. 0 = Data overrun h. I/O port unable to keep up
with data transfer rate; lower
BAUD rate, increase speed of
host's applications program by;
using a compiled version of the
program, stream lining
program execution, use a
faster CPU
