Gs - Status Command:
This computer interface command works like the current Print Command (P), except this command does
not advance to the next ingredient if the scale is processing a recipe.
The "Status Command" is used to determine the current status of the scale. The Status Command can be
used to follow serial commands which do not have a command response. This identifies when the previous
command has been processed by the scale. There are certain circumstances when the scale cannot process
serial commands. Reviewing recipes, operating the timer, displaying messages, and while using the Short
or Long Form Setup & Calibration functions are some of the operations when the scale cannot process
Computer Interface Commands until that operation is completed.
The serial input buffer on the indicator can become full and an error #14 or #17 "Input Buffer Overflow
Error" can occur if too many serial commands are sent during these operations.
This command includes the following information:
Start new command: <ESC>
Command identifier: Gs
Data format to send: xx (see below)
End of command: <EOT>
Status Command Response:
If the command is completed successfully, then the message string shown below will be returned followed
by the <ACK> (Hex value 0x06) character. If the command fails, the <NAK> (Hex value 0x15) character
will be returned.
Status Command Example:
The following command string:
<ESC>Gs02<EOT>
would cause the indicator to print the following text.
123456789012
" 0LB GR"
Output Examples: Date & Time formats selected in the Long Form may change these examples.
