SERIAL DATA FORMATS

Weight-On-Demand

If the Printer Continuous output was not selected,

COnt=0

(0=NO) during setup and

calibration of the indicator, and the 204 is connected to a computer, it will transmit a single set

of weight data each time the computer sends an ENQ (hex 05) or a SMA weight request (W).

This is known as Weight-On-Demand. Examples and explanation of the data format

transmitted are shown below.

Continuous Output

If the Printer Continuous output was selected

COnt=1

(1=YES) during setup and calibration,

the 204 will transmit weight data continuously. If connected to a remote display, the display

will continuously show weight data. An example and explanation of the data format

transmitted is shown below.

Weight-On-Demand and Continuous Output Data Format

The data format transmitted for both Weight-On-Demand and Continuous Output will be

GROSS weight only. The weight data always includes the units of measure. An example of

the data output (with and without a decimal point) is shown below:

Pxxxxxx^UU^M^SS^CR (no decimal point in weight display)

PxxxxxxD^UU^M^SS^CR (decimal point in weight display)

where:

P = Polarity (space if positive, - if negative)

xxxxxx = Weight (Six digits with leading spaces)

^ = Space

D = Decimal Point (embedded where necessary)

UU = Units LB, KG, OZ, ^G

M = Mode G = (gross)

SS = Status CZ = center-of-zero, O = motion,

BZ = below zero and OC = over capacity)

CR = Carriage Return (hex OD)

SMA Weight On Demand Format

The host device (computer) sends:

The 204 will respond:

where:

lf = Line Feed

s = Flags Z= center of Zero, O = Over cap, E = zero Error,

e = weight not currently being displayed

r = Range 1, 2, 3, ...

n = Mode G = Gross

m = Motion M = Motion, " "(blank) = no motion

xxxxxx.xxx = Weight Ten digits (includes decimal point).

Weight is right justified.

uuu = Units lb^, kg^, oz^, g^^ (^ = space)

cr = Carriage Return (hex 0D)
