9.3 Continuous Output (Stream) Format
Figure 9-1 shows the default continuous output format sent to a Counterpart port when that port’s STREAM
parameter (SERIAL menu) is set to LFT.
<STX> <C> <CR>
ASCII 02
(decimal)
Count Data:
6 Characters
<CR> <LF>

9.4 Demand Output Serial Data Format
When demand mode is configured for the serial port (STREAM parameter set to OFF), the Counterpart uses a data
string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator
configuration.
You can customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote
equipment. Se
e Section 7.0 on page 79 for more information on
custom print formats.
9.5 Custom Stream Formatting
Each port can be independently configured to stream a default frame format or can be customized to stream a user-
defined format. Custom formatting is very similar to the standard print formatting described in Section 7.0 on
page 79. Table 9-3 lists the format identifiers used to configure a custom
stream format.
Format Identifier Defined By Description
<P[G | N | T]> STR.POS#n
STR.NEG#n
Polarity. Specifies positive or negative polar
ity for the current or
specified (Gross/Net/Tare) weight on the source scale. Possible
values are SPACE, NONE, + (for STR.POS), or – (for STR.NEG)
<CU> STR.PRI#n
STR.SEC#n
STR.TER#n
Units. Specifies primary, secondary, or tertiary units for the current or
specified weight on the source scale.
<U[P | S | T]> Dynamic =L if Units = LB
=K if Units = KG
=G if Units = G
=O if Units = OZ
<M[G | N | T]> STR.GROSS#n
STR.NET#n
STR.TARE#n
Mode. Specifies gross, net, or tare weight for the current or
specified weight on
the source scale.
<S> STR.MOTION#n
STR.RANGE#n
STR.OK#n
STR.INVALI#n
Status for the source scale. Default values and meanings for each
status:
STR.MOTIONMIn motion
STR.RANGEOOut of range
STR.OK<space>OK
STR.INVALIDIInvalid
<C> - Piece count for the currently viewed scale
<B [–]n,…> See descriptions below Bit fields. Comma-separated sequence of bit field specifiers. Must
be exactly 8 bits. Minus sign (–) inverts the bit.
B0 Always 0
B1 Always 1
