9.8 Serial Scale Interface

Serial port 1 can be configured for serial scale input. The serial scale function allows other scale indicators to send

gross, or net weight data to Counterpart. Once the serial port has been configured to accept scale data, the data

format can be customized to match the data stream sent by that indicator. See Figure 3-22 on page 51 for setup

information.

To set up and configure a serial scale:

1. Under the SERIAL menu, select Port 1 a

nd scroll over to IND SC (industrial serial scale) or SCALE

(Legal-for-Trade), depending on what is required. This enables Scale 3. For operation with the counting

functions, set type to IND SC.

2. Match the baud rates (9600), data bits and parity

, and stop bits. This becomes SCALE 3.

3. Set the format under the SFMT parameter to match the

format sent by the serial scale.

An example of the default serial scale format is:
