DATA TRANSMISSION
• Data is transmitted ON-DEMAND from the host device.
• Data available for transmission consists of the GROSS weight.
• Transmission to the host occurs when the host transmits a
CR
carriage return
(Hex 0D) to the scale.
COMPUTER OUTPUT FORMAT
The instrument will transmit the following string of data.
Footnotes:
• Characters denoted by an
X
are characters 0-9.
• Leading zeroes are replaced with spaces (
SP
).
• Character 6 is a decimal point (
HEX 2E
).
• The decimal will move to the fifth (5) character position when at .05 kg.
• Lower
case
l
and
b
for Avoirdupois Units.
*
• Lower
case
k
and
g
for Metrics Units.
• The first weight character will be a minus (
-
) (
HEX 2D
) If weight is negative.
• Characters separated with a
/
denote that one character will be transmitted.
• Lower
case
gr
in characters 12 &13 indicates scale motion.
─ Upper case
GR
