17.4 User Settings

17.4.1 Overview

This menu is used to determine technical data of communication between the

balance and a computer or electronic printer.

Note:

This menu applies both to the RS-232C interface and DATA I/O interface.

For the device to which the DATA I/O interface is connected e.g. electronic printer,

the balance communication parameters should be set to the standard settings i.e.

select the following menu elements: 76, 77, 83, 89, 92, 94.

17.4.2 Handshaking

The handshake function determines whether or not peripheral devices can receive

communication data from the balance. It does not transfer the balance status to the

peripheral devices. The balance can receive data as long as there is a free space in

its receive buffer memory. This function is ready for operation when the „oFF” symbol

is displayed. Its reliable operation in other states cannot be guaranteed.

If the balance data output is interrupted by the handshake function, the balance

display is locked.

Enter the suitable settings for the handshake function.

If the software handshake function is not to be performed, select the menu

element

If the software handshake function is to be performed in the way described

below, select the menu element

• When the X-OFF (13H) command is received by the balance, the

balance data output is stopped.

• When the X-ON (11H) command is received by the balance, the

balance data output is started.

If the hardware handshake function is to be performed in the way described

below, select the menu element

• If the DTR parameter is set to OFF, the balance data output is

stopped.

• If the DTR parameter is set to ON, the balance data output is

started.

To call up the time controlled hardware handshake function, select the

menu element
