The remote display is capable of displaying weight information; Gross, Tare, or Net

weight, sent from the host indicator. In addition to displaying weight, the remote display

can be configured to display the scale annunciators; Motion, Center of Zero, outputs,

or other application specific data. The remote display can also transmit key presses,

for basic weight functions, back to the host indicator. Functions include; Print, Zero and

Tare. The remote display can be configured for these individual functions or a

combination of these functions.

The indicator will be configured for Remote Display mode without annunciators or key

functions. This will disable the keypad and annunciators of the remote indicator and

display whatever valid message is received from the serial port. Mode 1 contains the

string:

G<SP>00000<SP>UN<CR><LF>.

The first character can be a G or N for Gross or Net weight active value. This is followed

by a space <SP> and a six digit numeric weight followed by another space <SP>. The

serial string will end with the current unit of scale measure <UN> and the end of

message character <CR>, carriage return, followed by a line feed <LF>. Refer to Table

1 for host output protocol.

information will be present in the serial string from the host. Mode 2 contains the string

G<SP>00000<SP>lb<CR><AN1><AN2>…<ANn><CR><LF>

Refer to figure #1 for host output protocol. The first character can be a G or N for Gross

or Net weight active value. This is followed by a space <SP> and a six digit numeric

weight followed by another space <SP>. The serial string will end with the current unit

of scale measure <UN> and the end of message character <CR>, carriage return.

Annunciators are mapped according to the bit table, Table 2, and transmitted from the

host indicator to the remote display after the end of message character.
