EXAMPLE 3
Multiple commands reading for registers (command 3, h03 hexadecimal):
Assuming that we wish to read the gross weight value (in the example 4000) and net weight value (in
the example 3000), reading from address 40008 to address 40011 must be performed by sending the
following string:
h01 h03 h00 h07 h00 h04 hF5 hC8
The instrument will respond with the string:
h01 h03 h08 h00 h00 h0F hA0 h00 h00 h0B hB8 h12 h73
