RS-232
The data transmission can be initiated by pressing the DATA key or by an
external device by sending ASCII "?" to the gauge. The indicator will respond by
sending the current reading in either full or numeric format, depending on the
configuration settings (see Section 3). Polarity sign indicates tensile (CCW) (-)
or compressive (CW) (+) forces. The transmitted string has the following
format:
[POLARITY (SPACE OR -)][DATA][SPACE][UNITS (IF ENABLED)][CRLF]
The display will flash "Err" and no data will be transmitted if DATA is pressed
during the average computation while in the Average mode or during the input
scanning in the External trigger mode.
Mitutoyo BCD
This output is useful for connection to data collectors, printers, multiplexers or
any other device capable of accepting Mitutoyo BCD data. The transmission is
initiated by the DATA key or by the receiving device (see Section 3 for settings).
Analog
This output can be used for chart recorders, oscilloscopes, data acquisition
systems, or any other compatible devices with analog inputs. The output
produces
1 volt at full scale of the sensor used with the indicator. The polarity
of the signal is positive for compression (CW) and negative for tension (CCW).
