First Word

– 0: Command Number

The default output table enables single parameters and functions to be modified.

The majority of the commands are intended to be used once and require a NOCMD or a
different command to be sent if the same command is to be repeated. However, there are
special function commands which can be repeated and each time the command is read the
appropriate action is taken. These special commands are denoted using a “**” in the
following table. For example the SET command enables the user to continually adjust the
target weight throughout a fill or dispense cycle.

The first word in the output table is a command, the possible commands are:
