(1) Basic format
An example of data format of a negative value (-186.65g) with delimiter of C/R is shown.
The data length varies depending on attached information, unit expression and delimiter
as explained in (2).
Data length of this example: 12 bytes

code
2DH 2OH 2OH 31H 38H 36H 2EH 36H 35H 67H 2OH ODH
Data -
1 8 6 - 6 5 g C/R
Remarks
Position 1: For a positive value, " " (space) (20H), and for a negative value, "-" (2DH)
is in this position.
Positions 2 to 9: The absolute value. When the numerical value does not use all the 8
positions, the code for space is entered to each excessive position as shown
in this example.
Positions 10,11: One or two letters indicating the weighing unit. As shown in this example,
the code for space is entered at position No.11 if only one letter is used for
the unit.
Position 12: Code for delimiter.
(2) Information of additional bytes
(i) Output with stability information
When outputting data with stability information (Refer to 15.2.3 (4)-(i)), either of the
following characters is added in front of Character No.1 in the example. Consequently,
