10.6 Data Formats

10.6.1 Stream Serial Data Format
If stream data transmission is configured for the communication ports (

STRLFT

or

STRIND

), by default the 880

sends data using the Rice Lake Weighing Systems serial data format shown in Figure 10-1:

<STX> <POL> <wwwwwww> <UNIT> <G/N> <S> <TERM>

ASCII 02

decimal

Polarity:
< space > = Positive
<–> = Negative

W eight: 7 digits, right-justified, dummy
zer o es, d ecimal point w ith no leadin g
zer oes except for leading zer o immediately
pr eceding the decimal point. Leading
zer oes transmitted as spaces.

L = pounds
K = kilogram s
T = tons (T , TN )
O = ounces
G = grams
< space > = NONE

G = Gr oss

N = Net

Status:
< space > = valid
I = Invalid
M = Motion
O = Over/under range

<CR> <LF>

or <CR>

Z = Center zero

Note

Format can be changed, see Section 10.7.

The character values can be changed for the stream format tokens, see Table 6-10 on page 70.

If the COM port is set to TYPE = RS485, the port will not stream data, and cannot be used in a local/remote
application. See Section 10.6.3
.

10.6.2 Print Output Serial Data Format
When print format is configured for the demand (print) port in the setup menus, the 880 uses a data string formatted

for a basic ticket printout. The particular print format printed depends on the indicator configuration. See

Section 7.0 for print formatting.

Use the EDP commands, Revolution

®

or the front panel to fully customize the print to work with a wide variety of

printers, and other remote equipment.
