15.3.2 Handshaking
Handshaking determines whether the peripheral equipment can receive communication data
from the balance. This function does not relay the status of the balance to the peripheral
equipment. The balance is able to receive as long as there is space in the receiving buffer of
the balance. This function operates once “oFF” is displayed, operation in other states is not
guaranteed. When the balance output is retained by handshaking, the display of the balance
is locked. Determine the specifications for handshaking.
