Gu - Signon Message Command:
This command allows an alpha-numeric message (up to 40 characters in length) to be displayed on the
indicator during power up. It will appear immediately after a short “HELLO” message is displayed.
This command includes the following information:
Start new command: <ESC>
Command identifier: Gu
Start of Message: <STX> = start of the text = hex value 2 in the ASCII character set
Message: Must be at least 1 character and can be up to 40 characters long. If the
message is less than six characters the value will appear on the right side of
the display. Valid characters may not be less than the Space " " (hex value
20) character and may not be greater than the "z" (hex value 7A) character of
the ASCII character set.
Note: The character "$" will show up as a "l" (small character L ) on the
indicator display since the "$" character is a special character used for
Lock-On weigh mode.
Note: Lower case characters will be printed as lower case characters however
they appear as UPPER case characters on the scale's display.
End of command: <EOT>
Signon Message Command Response:
If the command is completed successfully, then the <ACK> (Hex value 0x06) character will be returned
after receiving the command. If the command fails, the <NAK> (Hex value 0x15) character will be returned.
Signon Message Command Examples:
The following command string <ESC>Gu<STX>DS<EOT> would cause the indicator to display the
message " DS" after “ HELLO” is displayed on the indicator when the unit is first turned on.
