SERIAL DATA OUT AND WEIGH ON DEMAND FUNCTION

The PC series scale will transmit SMA Level 1 compliant serial weight data when the PRINT key is

depressed

when connected to a host (Weight On Demand). When connected to a host, serial

weight data will be transmitted to the host in a SMA Level compliant format when the host sends the

scale a <If> W <cr> (linefeed, capital W, and a carriage return)

in an alternate format when the

host sends the scale a W (capital W only).

The Weight On Demand feature equires a special serial cable (Cardinal P/N

8529-B305-0A) connected between the scale and host.

SMA Level 1 Compliant Format

When the PRINT key is depressed or the Weight On Demand command (<If> W <cr>) is sent by the

host, the weight data will be transmitted in the following format:

<If>srnmfxxxxxx.xxxuuu<cr>

where: <If> - line feed (oA hex)

s - Status 'Z' = Center of Zero

'O' = Zero Error

' ' = space (none of the above)

r - Range '1'

n - Gross/Net status

m - Motion Status 'm' = scale in motion

' ' = scale not in motion

f - Reserved for future use

xxxxxx.xxx - Weight (fixed at 10 characters)

uuu - Unit of measure

<cr> - Carriage return (0D hex)

Alternate Weight On Demand Format

When the alternate Weight On Demand command “W” (57H) is sent, the weight data will be

transmitted in the following format:

Response: Weight

1 byte STX 02H

5 byte WEIGHT Kg = XX.XXX

1 byte CR 0DH

Response: ERROR

1 byte STX 02H

1 byte ? 3FH
