Monitor ROM (MON)
18.3.1.5 Echoing
As shown in Figure 18-11, the monitor ROM immediately echoes each received
byte back to the PTA0 pin for error checking.

Any result of a command appears after the echo of the last byte of the command.
18.3.1.6 Break Signal
A start bit followed by nine low bits is a break signal. See Figure 18-12. When the
monitor receives a break signal, it drives the PTA0 pin high for the duration of two
bits before echoing the break signal.
