Communication Error
When a communication error due to a parity error or a frame error (if used) was detected, the scale sends an
ASCII ‘!’ character. The only other error is the detection of an unknown or non-supported command. In this
case, an ASCII '?' character is sent as a reply. Dependent on the error messages, the controlling computer must
decide how to continue the scale operation.
