4.1.1 Transmit a Weight String
Use numeric ASCII characters followed by a <CR> character. Weights are displayed
from right to left.
Example:
l To display “1000”, transmit: 1000<CR>
4.1.2 Transmit Status Characters
Status characters may be embedded anywhere in the weight string to control the
annunciator characters ‘G’ or ‘N’. Status characters may be upper or lowercase, and in
any order, before or after the weight.
Example:
l To display 1000 lb gross, transmit: 1000G<CR> -or- g1000<CR>
4.1.3 Transmit an Alphanumeric Message / Data String
The XLR can display the entire printable ASCII character set and supports scrolling
messages. When an alphanumeric data string is longer than the unit’s number of
display characters, the message will scroll (right to left).The maximum data string
length is 40 characters.
Alphanumeric message data strings must be preceded by the “ character (decimal 34)
and followed by a Carriage Return <CR> character (decimal 13) to differentiate them
from weight strings. Characters are displayed from left to right.
Example:
l To display the message Mixing transmit: “Mixing<CR>
STATUS COMMAND ASCII DEC
GROSS weight G or g 71 or 103
NET weight N or n 78 or 110
If no gross/net character is sent to the XLR, the “G” annunciator will be displayed by
default.
