Control Commands
Control commands are single ASCII characters (followed by <CR>) that are transmitted
to the Aurora to control additional features such as the built-in traffic light (Aurora 45 SL)
and the traffic light relay.

Alphanumeric messaging to the scoreboard
All Aurora models can display alphanumeric messages within the limits of a 7 segment
digit. When a letter other than
L
,
K
,
G
, or
N
is detected, it assumes that the message is
alphanumeric. All characters in the data string are then treated as an alphanumeric
message, and not a weight value.
Alphanumeric messages are displayed from left to right.
Sample Command Mode Data Strings

NOTE:
Do not transmit Control Commands within a WEIGHT
data string. Control Commands should only be sent alone
(followed by a <CR>), or within an Alphanumeric data string.
