5.0 EDP Commands
The 390HE indicator can be controlled by a personal
computer or remote keyboard connected to the
indicator EDP port. Control is provided by a set of
EDP commands that can simulate front panel key
press functions, display and change setup parameters,
and perform reporting functions. The EDP port
provides the capability to print configuration data or
to save that data to an attached personal computer.
This section describes the EDP command set and
procedures for saving and transferring data using the
EDP port.
5.1 The EDP Command Set
The EDP command set can be divided into five
groups: key press commands, reporting commands,
the RESETCONFIGURATION special function
command, parameter setting commands, and transmit
weight data commands.
When the indicator processes an EDP command, it
responds with the message
OK
. The
OK
response
verifies that the command was received and has been
executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot
be executed, the indicator responds with
??
.
The following sections list the commands and
command syntax used for each of these groups.
5.1.1 Key Press Commands
Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate
pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator.
These commands can be used in both setup and
weighing mode. Several of the commands serve as
“pseudo” keys, providing functions that are not
represented by a key on the front panel.
For example, to enter a 15-pound tare weight using
EDP commands:
1. Type K1 and press
ENTER
(or
RETURN
).
2. Type K5 and press
ENTER
.
3. Type KTARE and press
ENTER
.
The indicator displays the symbol when a tare has
been entered and shifts the display to net mode.
