G0 00 <CR><LF>
(3) (4) (5)

(1) Command
(2) Inquiry
(3) Response command
(4) Processing result; 00 = OK, 01 = NG
(5) EOM (not require in fast transfer mode)

Description

Inquiry from controller in fast transfer mode (G0 ? command)

In response to this command, the Receiver returns to the controller OK (00) or NG (01)
resulting form processing of the last command message.
If the command is processed successfully, 00 is returned. If not, 01 is returned.
This command allows the controller to obtain the result from processing the last
command.
Auto transfer in interactive mode
In interactive mode, the Receiver always returns to the controller OK (00) or NG (O1)
resulting form processing of the last command message.
If the command is processed successfully, 00 is returned. If not, Ol is returned.

Receiver, change the baud rate of the controller too and then use the GO ? command or the like to check if the
connection status is OK.
