Data Output
The BFG has RS232, Mitutoyo and analogue output signals. It is possible to transmit the displayed reading to
peripheral devices (e.g. PC, printer) by pressing and releasing the
TXD
TXD
key.
Displayed readings can also be requested individually from a PC via the RS232 interface by sending a “
??
” (ascii
D63 [3fh]) character.
For sending a continuous data stream to a PC, press and hold the
TXD
TXD
key for 2 seconds then release. A ‘1’ will
now appear in the display to indicate that data can now be sent. To stop sending data, simply press and release
the
TXD
TXD
key, at which point a ‘1’ will disappear from the display.
Please note that the continuous data stream only starts when approximately 2% of the rated capacity of the gauge
is reached.
BFG uses 9600 Baud 8 data bits, 1 start bit 1 stop bit and no parity.
