RS-232C Communication with PC 33
7.6 RS-232C Data Transmission Formats
The basic data transmission string format output by the DC-782 is as follows (with a more detailed discussion of
each element below)
Data Format Without Additional Parity (Total 37 Bytes):
Data Format With Additional Parity (Total 38 Bytes)
NOTE: If the additional parity is 0x0d, 0x0a or 0x00, it
will be changed to 0x1d, 0x1a or 0x10 respectively.
Status Flag:
Bit 7: Not used; always set to zero.
Bit 6: Fixed to 1.
Bit 5: Not used.
Bit 4: Not used.
Bit 3: Not Used
Bit 2: Quantity Overflow - 0: when
no overflow, 1: when overflow
Bit 1: Net - 0: when tare subtraction not performed, 1: when tare subtraction performed
Bit 0: Additional Parity Flag - 0: when additional
parity flag not added in text, 1: when flag is added
Command ENQ Enquiry 0x05
ACK Acknowledge 0x06
NAK Not Acknowledge 0x15
