(3) Set measurement mode command (7) Span adjustment/test command
(4) Request date output command (8) Setting limit values
17.4.1 Procedure for transmission
(1) An input command is sent from an external device.
The full-duplex transmission system allows you to send an input command at any time independently
of the data transmit timing of the balance.
(2) Upon successful completion of an input command, the balance will send out either a normal
completion response or the data requested by the command. If the operation has not resulted in
normal completion, or if the received input command is invalid (in error), the balance will transmit an
error response.
When the balance is in normal display mode, it usually sends a response to an input command within
one second after it is received.
However, if the balance receives a tare range command when the Set Tare function is set so that the
display is reset to “0” when the balance is stabilized after the Zero/Tare key is pressed, or if it receives
an input command that takes a long time, it sends a response after the command is completely
processed.
If the balance receives an input command when you are setting a function, when it is under span
adjustment, or it is busy for other reasons, it sends a response after that operation is completed.
1) Commands to which a response is sent back after a specified operation is executed:
 Tare range command, span adjustment/test command
2) Commands to which a response is sent back immediately or in one second after they are received:
 Commands other than those specified in (1) above
3) Once you have sent an input command from an external device, do not send another input command
to the balance until the external device receives a response to the command from the balance.
