Explanation:
I know, this gets a bit away from the German, but the tone of your context tells me that this is going on more often than just calling a subroutine or two. It sounds like there is constant (well, almost constant) communication between the two devices. This may be a heartbeat signal that says "Are you alive?" with the corresponding response (or not!) with a watchdog timer on the user end to alert him to a failure.

agree  Ken Cox: could also be 'polling sequence' (as you said, 'are you there?'). BTW, the logical content of the text leaves much to be desired.
