Rice Lake IQ 700 Configurable Weight Indicator - Manual (Page 55)

Normal Weighing Mode Operations 51
Status Character Definitions
The status character (<STAT>) provides information to the receiving device about the current indicator operation.
Table 6-4 shows the status characters returned by the IQ 700 indicator.
NOTES: Response data (xxxxxx) is six characters with no decimal point, seven with decimal point. Leading zeroes
are shown as space characters.
Invalid data requests or entries are responded to with an echo of valid portion and the letter I indicating the invalid
portion.
6.6.2 Demand Mode versus Continuous Data Output
Demand mode is used to interface with printers and
requires a manual print command from the front panel
to initiate the output data. To comply with
legal-for-trade regulations, demand output data is
inhibited during the following conditions:
• Scale in motion
• Positive overload
• Negative overload
• Negative gross weight displayed
• Unit in display check mode
• Other display modes
NOTE: In legal-for-trade applications, the Motion
Detection Parameter (parameter 9) must be turned ON.
In demand mode, the operator may choose to print
Gross/Tare/Net when in net mode. If the serial port is
set to print on demand mode, the format is:
<STX><POL><DATA><SP><LB/KG><SP><GR/NT>
<SP><CR><LF>
6.6.3 Demand Print with Identification Number
In normal mode, the demand print output data can be
labeled with a six-digit ID number. To print label data,
the operator must enter six digits (maximum) using the
numeric keys (no leading zeroes), then press the
PRINT
key. The format to set demand print with ID number is:
<STX><SP><SP><6DIGITS><SP><ID><SP><NO><CR>
<LF><STX><POL><DATA><SP><LB/KG><SP>
<GR/NT><SP><CR><LF>
General Continuous Mode Output Data Format
Continuous mode is used to interface to computers,
scoreboards, and other remote devices requiring
constant data updating. Continuous mode transmission
occurs at the end of each display update.
<STX><POL><DATA><L/K><G/N><STAT><CR><LF>
Downloading/Recall of Fixed Tare
The format to fixed tare data entry (see Table 6-5) is:
<FE>(XXXXXX)<CR>
The format with unit echo (see Table 6-5) is:
<FR>(XXXXXX)<CR>
Status Characters Description
<D> (44H) Digital calibration mode
<A> (41H) Analog calibration mode
<I> (49H) Invalid data
<O> (4FH) Over or under range

<X> (58H) Setpoint 1 displayed
<Y> (59H) Setpoint 2 displayed
<Z> (5AH) Tare recall data displayed
<SP> (20H) Normal display (valid data)
