Where a balance response is given, no attempt has been made to show the actual message formats. You should refer to the section on
balance message formats for detailed information. Numbers stored in the registers are classified by the balance software as being
additive, multiplicative, or unflagged. Additive numbers are used by the balance software in addition and subtraction operations.
Multiplicative numbers are used in multiplication and division operations. Unflagged numbers aren't used in any arithmetic functions.
If you try to use an additive number in a function which requires a multiplicative number the balance responds with the register
contents (if applicable) and a ? and the instruction is ignored.
Type 1 Commands – Balance Control Functions:
Command Response Purpose
CLEAR [CR] None Clears the previous command and resets the balance to
normal operating mode. The Tare register is cleared to zero
and the balance is zeroed.
HI_RANGE[CR] or LO_RANGE[CR]
or AUTO[CR] None Set the balance range.
GRAMS[CR] or KG[CR] or MG[CR] or
CARATS[CR] or DWT[CR] or
OZT[CR] or OZ[CR] or LB[CR] or
A[CR] or LIMITS[CR] or CAL1[CR] or
CAL2[CR] None Places the balance in the indicated mode or units. To abort
any of the CAL sequences or the LIMITS modes use
CLEAR[CR].
ZERO[CR] None The balance takes whatever action it would in response to a
push of the front panel zero button. Normally zeros the
balance’s display.
TARE[CR] None If the balance is in the weighing mode, this command zeros
the balance’s display, otherwise it is ignored.
[decimal number]_HI[CR] None Sets the check weighing high limit register (register 88) to
the decimal number entered in the current units. Register
88 is undefined at every ON/OFF cycle.
[decimal number]_LO[CR] None Sets the check weighing low limit register (register 87) to
the decimal number entered in the current units. Register
87 is undefined at every ON/OFF cycle.
[decimal number]_CONVERT[CR] None Loads the number entered, as a "last front panel units"
relative multiplier, into the CONVERT register and enters
the CONVERT mode. CLEAR exits the convert mode and
un-defines the convert register.
[decimal number]_CAL[CR] None Loads a computed number based on the entered number, as
a "last front panel units" relative multiplier, into the CAL
register and enters the CAL mode. The display must be
non-zero when this command is issued. If the display is
zero, a 3 second "Err" message is displayed and the balance
returns to its normal weighing mode. The current weight
reads as the number entered with the appropriate sign.
CLEAR exits the CAL mode and un-defines the CAL
register.
[integer]_PIECES[CR] None Loads a computed number based on the entered number, as
a "last front panel units" relative multiplier, into the
PIECES register and enters the PIECES mode. The display
must be non-zero when this command is issued. If the
display is zero, a 3 second "Err" message is displayed and
the balance returns to its normal weighing mode. CLEAR
exits the pieces mode and un-defines the pieces register.
[decimal number]_PCT[CR] None Puts the balance on the percent weighing mode with the
displayed reading converted to the percent entered. The
display must be non-zero when this command is issued. If
the display is zero, a 3 second "Err" message is displayed
and the balance returns to its normal weighing mode.
CLEAR exits the percent mode and un-defines the percent
register.
