COMMAND MODE
All Aurora displays can be setup to receive commands directly from the scale system or
PC. Supported commands include transmitting weights, basic alphanumeric messaging,
stoplight relay control, and additional display functions.
Command mode disables Auto-Learn and fixes communications at 9600-N-8-1. The
Aurora looks only for specific commands sent by the indicator or scale controller.
