9
yyyy = year four (4) digits)
ID = ASCII letters “I” and “D” to identify data as identification
LB = ASCII letters “L” and “B” to identify weighing units as pounds. May also be
KG for kilograms, OZ for ounces
xxxxxx = six (6) numeric digits of weight with decimal point if required and leading
zeros suppressed
G = ASCII letter “G” for gross weight
T = ASCII letter “T” for tare weight
N = ASCII letter “N” for net weight
CR = carriage return (followed by LF if Automatic Line Feeds was set to YES
during setup)
^ = space (hex 20)
LF = line feed
CONTINUOUS DATA OUTPUT
If, during setup and calibration, the answer to the prompt Sb400? is NO, the weight data will be
transmitted in the following format:
CRPzzzzzzDs^uu^m^^ETX
If the prompt Sb400? is answered YES, the weight data will be transmitted in the following formats:
Pxxxxxx^UU^M^SS^CR (no decimal point in weight display)
PxxxxxxD^UU^M^SS^CR (decimal point in weight display)
where: CR - carriage return (hex 0D)
D - decimal point (embedded where necessary)
ETX - end of text (hex 03)
m - mode, lower case (g=gross, n=net)
M - mode, upper case (G=gross, N=net)
P - polarity (space if positive, - if negative)
s - status, lower case (m=motion, e=entry - input in progress, c=over
capacity)
SS - status, upper case (CZ=center-of-zero, MO=motion, BZ=gross weight
below zero, ee=entry - input in progress, OC=over capacity)
uu - units, lower case (lb, kg, tn, etc.)
UU - units, upper case (LG, KG, TN, etc.)
xxxxxx - weight with leading spaces
zzzzzz - weight with leading zeros
^ - space
WEIGHT ON DEMAND
If the bi-directional serial has not been setup for continuous output, the 748 will respond to a weight
request (ENQ).
The host device (computer) sends:
ENQ - (hex 05)
The 748 will respond:
Sxxxxxx^UU^M^CC^CR - if no decimal point in weight display.
SxxxxxxD6UU6M6CC^CR - if decimal point in weight display.
S - sign (space if weight is positive or a “--” if weight is negative)
xxxxxx - six digits of weight with leading zeros suppression
D - decimal point embedded in weight (if decimal point selected during
calibration)
UU - weighing units (lb or kg)
M - weighing mode (“G” if displaying gross weight, “N” if displaying net
weight)
