50 XR Series Installation Instructions
11 XR Utility Programs
Activating Command Mode
1. To enable command mode, CONFIG dip switches 8 and 9 on the controller
board must be set as follows:
Switch settings do not take affect until the XR is reset or powered up again.
Transmit a Weight String
Use numeric ASCII characters followed by a <CR> character.
Example: To display 1000, transmit: 1000<CR>
Transmit Status Characters
Status characters may be imbedded anywhere in the weight string to control the
annunciator lights. Status characters may be upper or lowercase, and in any order,
before or after the weight.
Example: To display 1000 lb gross, transmit: 1000LG<CR> -or- GL1000<CR>
Multi-Drop addressing
The XRs using Multi-drop must be in Command Mode. The Multi-drop address (0 to 3)
is set using SW8 and SW9 on the CONFIG dip switch bank (See Switches 4 & 5: Multi-
Drop ID on page 39).
When using Multi-drop, the XR will only respond after it has been selected. To select
the display, transmit a “#” character (ASCII 35), followed by the correct ID number and
a CR (ASCII 13) character. The XR will remain selected until it receives a command
containing a different address.
Examples:
1. Select multi-drop address 1:
Transmitting “#1<CR>” selects the display with ID #1.
2. Select multi-drop address 3, then send a weight of 1000lb gross:
“#3<CR>”
“1000LG<CR>
The ID number may be embedded with the weight string:
“#3 1000LG<CR>
