KF format
5if type 2
This is the Karl-Fischer moisture meter format and is used when the peripheral equipment can only
communicate using this format.
 This format consists of fourteen characters excluding the terminator.
 This format has no header characters.
 The polarity sign is placed before the data, with spaces in place of leading zeros, if the data is
not zero or overloaded.
 This format outputs the unit only for a stable value.
MT format
5if type 3
 A header of two characters indicates the balance condition.
 The polarity sign is used only for negative data.
 The weighing data uses spaces in place of the leading zeros.
 The character length of this format changes dependent upon the unit
NU (Numerical) format
5if type 4
This format outputs only numerical data.
 This format consists of nine or ten characters excluding the terminator.
With the MC-1000, when the numerical data excluding the decimal point exceeds eight
characters, the data format will be ten characters long.
 The polarity sign is placed before the data with the leading zeros. If the data is zero, the plus
sign is used.
