2.4 Output types for measured values
The response to measurement queries (MSV?) depends on the output format (COF) that is
set (binary or ASCII output). Data output works with fixed output lengths (see command
COF
):
Example:
Format command
WE2107 response No. bytes
COF0; MSV? Yy CR LF (y‐ binary) 4
COF2; MSV? Yyyy CR LF (y‐binary) 6
LF: line feed (lf = 0a hex), CR: carriage return ( = 0d hex)
The end mark of the data output is always a line feed. However, this character must not be
filtered out as an end mark during binary output, as these characters may also be included in
the binary code of the measured value. Which is why only the byte count is helpful with
binary output.
2.5 Password protection parameters
WE password protection includes the important settings for the scale curve and its identifica
tion. Commands with password protection are only activated after the password has been
entered. Unless the password is entered via the command SPW
, this command input will not
be executed. A query is always possible.
