This is typically one character and often a space character. • Start: Specify a start character(s) that indicates the beginning of the reading. Not all data formats have a start character, but when there is it is often the ASCII start to text (STX) character (hexadecimal value of 0x02).
Section 3: Access Terminal Screens Defined 3.3.6. Scale Indicator Setup, Continued G Mode Field Setup: The mode fields will indicate the mode that the scale indicator is in. The only allowed mode of the scale indicator is: Gross. • Default: If there is a mode field in the data format, then the mode should not default to anything (None). It should read the mode from the reading instead. Some data formats will combine the mode information into the status field.
Section 3: Access Terminal Screens Defined 3.3.6. Scale Indicator Setup, Continued • Motion: Specify the character(s) used to determine if status is motion. A common character for a motion status is M or MO. In the data formats the do not have a unit or mode field, the motion is often '1( ' or something similar to that. • Center of Zero: This status indicates that the scale is at or near zero. This is also considered a valid status.
