Where:
<STX> STX character
<P> Polarity
<W7> Seven characters of net data with decimal pt
<U> Units
<M> Mode
<S> Status
<CR> Carriage return
Note that industrial serial scales (IND SC) do not require the <M>, <U> and <S> identifiers. However, the units
and number of decimal places must be specified. Units can be selected from the FORMAT menu; decimal places
should be indicated with a w-spec identifier. For example, a seven-digit weight reading requiring two decimal
places should be specified as <W7.2> rather than <W7>.
To change or match formats, use the same path to change
formats.
9.9 Regulatory Mode Functions
The function of the front panel TARE and ZERO keys depends on the value specified for the REGULAT parameter
on the FEATURE menu. Table 9-5 describes the function of these keys for th
e NTEP, CANADA, OIML, and
NONE regulatory modes.
TARE and ZERO key functions are configurable when the REGULAT mode is set to
INDUST (see Table 9-6 on page 97).
