42、tains a general explanation of some of the concepts used in the formulation of the common message set. It constitutes tutorial information and is intended to assist in the understanding of the specifications in previ- ous portions of this practice. A.1 Commands and responses The message language is

43、subdivided into two varieties of message which differ only in the direction of information flow between controlling and controlled virtual machines. -COMMANDS are messages from a controlling to acontrolled virtual machine; - RESPONSES are messages from a controlled to a control- ling virtual machine

44、; responses are generally transmitted in reaction to a command. A.2 State machine and information transfer The virtual machine controlled by the message language is considered to be a STATE MACHINE. The message set can be regarded as being of two types: - Messages which change the state of the virtu

45、al machine (e.g., the VTR messages STOP and PLAY). These commands reside mainly in the type-speciic message set and comprise commands which are mutually exclusive (e.g., the tape motion commands VMCs in the VTR set); -Messages (commands and responses) which do not change the state, but which only ca

46、rry information to or from the virtual machine. As information transfer is a general requirement of all types of virtual machines, general principles are applied to these tasks; therefore, these messages reside mainly in the common message set. A.3 Information flelds (IF) Items of information which

47、are maintained by and held within a controlled virtual machine, and which may be needed by its controlling virtual machine, are arranged in a virtual array of INFORMATION FIELDS, in a manner similar in concept to a data base. Each information field is identified by a unique descriptor called the INF

48、ORMATION FIELD NAME. This name, coded as a binary value, is used as an address within all commands referencing the field. Therefore, the information field name is used as a parameter name in these commands. The format of information field data within each message, as transmitted over the remote cont

49、rol system, is predefined for each item by the information field name. Each message set requires its own array of information fields. The complete field array of a specific virtual machine comprises the field array specified in the common message set, together with that of the type-specific message set. A typical example of a command requiring an information field is READ, which directs the virtual machine to transmit the content of one or more information fields: as specified Page 12 of 14 pages within the command. The SIMULTANEOUS READ com- mand directs the
