Serial I/O Ports
The DT200 is equipped with three bi-directional serial communication ports that can
communicate to a weight indicator, an optional printer, a computer, bar code reader, a
score board or other serial communication devices. The baud rate and format can be set
independently for each port. Serial port 1 is normally used to output weight data and ID
reports to a printer. Serial port 2 is normally used for continuous output of weight data.
Continuous transmission can be enabled or disabled and the output format can be
customized using Parameters 27 and 28. Serial port 3 is used to receive weight data from
a weight indicator.
NOTE: See parameters 91, 92, and 93 for Serial Port 3 settings.
Communication between serial devices requires that both devices have the same baud
rate (transmission speed), data bit length, and parity. The mode parameter selects the
data bit length and parity the baud parameter selects the baud rate.
Parameter 23 Serial Com. Port 1 Mode (4 [8 data bits, no parity])
