Using Socket Services with Socket Service Request Switches Section 6-2
The flow is similar for other socket services. Replace the names of the appro-
priate flags in the flowchart to adapt it to other socket services.
6-2-7 Timing Charts
The timing of flags for socket services (Opening, Receiving, Sending, or Clos-
ing Flag) when the Request Switches are used and the changes in the
response code are shown in the following chart.
Closing during Other
Processes
The Close Request Switch or Force-close Switch can be used to close a
socket even when open, receive, or send processing is being executed. Clos-
ing is the only other process that is possible during other processes.
Close Request Switch

Request Switch is used. There will always be one PC cycle time between
