Note:
• The data are divided with commas (,) for each data.
• The terminator (end of the data) is CR (ASCII code 0DH), LF (ASCII code 0AH).
• The control data for the items 1–2 are for expansion. They are not used presently so the
receiving side can ignore them.
• Because of its specifications, the scale will output an irrelevant signal when it’s turned off. Make
sure you ignore this signal and do not import it.
• The weight data are shown only in grams.
