22 Laser LT Installation and Operation Manual
3.8 Demand Print Displaying
The indicator and the Laser LT remote display can be set up to do a demand print display for such applications as
cattle weighing. This is useful if you want to show and keep the last weight of an animal.
Using Auto-Learn, ensure HOLD WT is on and continuously push the print button on the indicator to learn a demand
print display.
3.9 Run Mode Serial Commands
The Laser LT remote display has the ability to receive commands that display messages, or read a digital I/O

(2 inputs). If the Laser LT remote display is interfaced with a programmable smart indicator like the 920i, a user
program can be written to allow the user to send messages utilizing softkeys or events. When sending messages
from a user program, the user can send one message to temporarily override the streamed weight display or send
multiple messages to be displayed one at a time for several seconds each, replacing the weight display all together
if desired.
Note
The following commands are valid only while in run mode and on the host port.
3.9.1Laser LT Display Message Command
The display message command will place an alpha-numeric message on the display. The weigh annunicators
(gross, net, etc) will be cleared but the Red and Green LEDs will retain their current state.
