Appendix A • Super II 101
Never include a carriage return or line feed in any command sequence. The scale uses any command
character as a terminator for an input string.
For example, to enter a tare weight of 1000 (in the units currently being displayed), simply send “1000T”.
This will enter the number 1000 into the TARE register. To enter an average piece weight of 12.35, send
“12.35A”.
Sending Alphanumer ic ID #s to the Scale
Alphanumeric identification information (ID#s) may be entered into the scale through the RS232 interface.
Since Setra scales recognize upper-case ASCII characters as commands, it is necessary to begin alphanu-
meric entries with the “/” command or start ID character.
To enter an ID# from a computer or bar code scanner, the following string must be sent to the scale:
/ [ID string] $ (ID register character)
The ID START (or introducer) “/” instructs the scale to ignore subsequent characters as commands. The ID
FINISH (or terminator) “$” instructs the scale to interpret subsequent characters as commands. Everything
between ID START and ID FINISH will be stored as the ID string. The ID register character (see the table
below) instructs the scale to enter the string identifier into the ID# register.
The following table lists all ID register characters:
0 S
1 D
2 R
3 L
4 N
5 Y
6 H
7 B
8 U
9 F
ID register #1, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are not cleared when the reset key is pressed or when the unit is powered off.
These are referred to as non-volatile fields. ID register # 0, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are volatile and are cleared upon
reset and powering down.
The string identifier may consist of any printable ASCII character including upper case and lower case (A-
Z), numbers (0-9), punctuation (! . , : ; ? ’ ”) and symbols, ( ), [ ], { }, / \, +, = , *, %, &, #, < >, @ except the “$”. It
may be up to 23 characters in length. All other characters are ignored by the scale.
DO NOT SEND A CARRIAGE RETURN, <CR>, OR A LINE FEED, <LF>, WITHIN OR AFTER THE STRING IDENTI-
FIER.
