USER MANUAL ME-01 19
9.5 Detailed LonG protocol description
Standard communication parameters: 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, baud rate 9600bps,
After using key, measurement data is send together with text description (NET, TARE, GROSS) – all
set by using Print option. If Print isn’t set then only scale indication is send (as below).
Data exchange (communication):
Readout of scale indication
ComputerScale: S I CR LF (53h 49h 0Dh 0Ah),
ScaleComputer: scale response according to description below (16 bytes):
digit, decimal point or space
Attention:
Network number different than zero (SErIAL / nr function) changes scale working mode: communication
with a computer is possible after logging the scale in with 02h scale number command. To log the scale out
use 03h command.
For example: Using a program to test RS232 interface ( program is available in www.axis.pl / programy
komputerowe ) for scale number 1 please write: $0201 to log in, then SI, and write: $03 to close
communication.
Asking about scale presence in system (testing scale connection with computer):
ComputerScale: S J CR LF (53h 4Ah 0Dh 0Ah),
ScaleComputer: M J CR LF (4Dh 4Ah 0Dh 0Ah),
Displaying a inscription on scale’s display (text communicate from computer):
ComputerScale: S N n n X X X X X X CR LF, nn-displaying time in seconds; XXXXXX-6 signs to
display
ScaleComputer: M N CR LF (4Dh 4Eh 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale tarring (calling
T
key press) :
ComputerScale: S T CR LF (53h 54h 0Dh 0Ah),
ScaleComputer: without response,
Scale zeroing (calling
0
key press):
Computer Scale: S Z CR LF (53h 5Ah 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale Computer: without response,
Scale turning on / off (calling I/ key press):
Computer Scale: S S CR LF (53h 53h 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale Computer: without response,
