SCALE WEIGHT DATA STRINGS AS-330D Pounds/Ounces Mode: SspppbLBbww.wbOZbxccE Where: S s ppp b LB ww.w OZ x = = = = = = = = cc = E = ASCII STX (HEX 02) weight sign (space or -) weight lb, leading zero suppressed space the text "LB" weigh ounces, leading zero suppressed the text "OZ" status: M = motion on scale C = scale over capacity checksum - these two characters are the ASCII representation of the computed checksum ASCII ETX (HEX 03) Pounds Only Mode: AS-330D / AS-334D: swwwww.
UPS WORLDSHIP OPERATION Serial Interface Serial data is transmitted and received using 7 data bits; Odd parity and 2 stop bits (7, O, 2). The baud rate may be set using dip switches 1 and 2. The Weight mode is set using dip switches 3 and 4. The host computer sends request to the scale in the form of ASCII or HEX characters.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS ZERO KEY The ZERO key is used to reset the display to zero up to the selected limit of either 4% or 100% of scale capacity. Note that the zero limit is set during setup and calibration of the scale. This key is also be used to clear the Net weight and return to Gross zero. TARE KEY Pressing the TARE key will cause the current gross weight to be stored as the new tare weight. The display will change to the net weight mode (Net annunciator will turn on).
