Setting the SBI Data Output
Data output settings can be made in the Setup menu under “Data
communications:SBI:Data output
.“
The following options are available:
– The displayed value, with or without stability check
– Automatic output of the displayed value, either with or without stability check
– Output of a printout as congured in the “Device parameters:
Config. printout:Printer 1“ or “Printer 2
“ (see next
page).
You can dene the printout content by specifying which blocks of information are
to be included (see “Conguring Printouts”).
In general, the current display value is output (weight with unit, calculated value,
alphanumeric display) unless you congure a user-denable data record.
Generally, data is output only after the weighing instrument has stabilized (factory
setting). Here you can dene whether data is output on request or automatically,
at stability or without stability check; and congure a user-dened printout.
The data output for “without stability“ must be set accordingly (SBI: Data output).
If you select time-dependent automatic printout, you need to dene the print
interval (in display updates) as well.
Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The rst 6 characters,
called the “data header”, identify the subsequent value. Only 14 characters are
available if you disable the header. This is carried out in the “Line format“ menu
item (see also “Setup Overview“ in “Conguration“).
Automatic Data Output (SBI) You can have the weight readout printed automatically
1
). This printout can be
generated after a certain number of display updates. You can also congure
whether or not the auto-print function is dependent on the stability of the scale
3
).
The display update frequency depends on both the scale model and the operating
status.
Examples:
N + 153.00 g Net weight
Stat Display blank
Stat L Display underload
Stat H Display overload
„Data output“ setting:
1) 3) Automatic, without stability or automatic with stability.
Factory setting: Manual after stability; i.e., automatic data output function o.
Data Input Format
You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands controlling weighing
instrument functions and applications via the interface port.
All commands use the same data input format. They begin with the
ESC (ASCII: 27) character
and end with a carriage return
CR (ASCII: 13) and LF (ASCII: 10). The total length of a
command is anywhere from 4 characters (1 command character between the start and end
described above) to a max. of 7 characters (4 command characters). This number can also be
higher when sending texts.
The commands listed in the following table must each be supplemented with
ESC
... CR LF.
