Type of Communication Texts
This interface function uses the following three types of communication texts:
(1) Output data
Data, such as weight values, that is output from the balance to an
external unit
(2) Input commands
Commands to control the balance from an external unit
(3) Response
Response that is output from the balance to an input command
Caution:
1.
All of these communication texts can be used for RS232C output.
2.
Only output data (1) can be used for a peripheral output unit.

Output Data
You can select one from the following three formats in Function 1:
12.4.1

(3) Extended 7-digit numeric format
Consists of 15 characters including terminators (CR, LF). A parity bit can be appended.
This is an extended version of the 7-digit numeric format. The extended version is different
from the 7-digit numeric format in that:
the data length can be 7 bits rather than 8 bits, and
the stop bit length can be 1 bit rather than 2 bits.
The extended version is the same as the normal 7-digit format in other bits. However, if you
select Japanese (Katakana) for Printed Language [
] in Function 1, the data length is
forced into 8 bits.
