DATA FORMAT
60; (Continuous Output)
If 60; (continuous output) was selected, the scale will continuously transmit weight data in
SMA format (see below).
$#!! (Weight-On-Demand)
If $#!! (Weight-On-Demand) was selected and the scale is connected to a host device
(computer) for transmission of weight data to a PC-based EMR (electronic medical record)
software program, it will transmit a single set of weight data each time the host device
(computer) sends an SMA weight request “W” or a weight request “ENQ” (hex 05). An
example and explanation of the data format transmitted are shown below.
SMA Format (60; or $#//)
This format is used if the scale is configured for 60; (continuous output) OR if the scale is
configured for $#!! (weight-on-demand) and the host device (computer) sends:
<LF>W<CR>
or
<ENQ> (hex 05)
The scale will respond with the following SMA weight string:
<LF>S1GM^DDDDDDDDDDUUU<CR>
Where:
LF = Line Feed Line feed character (hex 0A)
S = Status O = Over Cap,
Z = Center Zero,
U = Below Zero,
E = Error
1 = the number 1
G = Mode of operation
G = Gross,
N = Net,
T = Tare
M = Motion bit M = Motion,
Blank = Settled (no motion)
^ = Space
DDDDDDDDDD = Weight Weight with a decimal point if necessary
UUU = Units lb or kg
CR = Carriage Return Carriage Return (hex 0D)
