Field Function
CmdError Error during execution (CmdError); e.g., the "taring" operation is not
processed, because the scale is not at a standstill. The error is stored
in LastError (function number 4).
The bit is reset with the ResetError bit (function number 121, see
Chapter 8.2.5.10).
CmdBusy The device is busy executing a function (e.g., waiting for downtime
for taring).
PowerFail Power failure; is always set after power on. The PowerFail bit is reset
with the ResetPWF bit (function number 85, see Chapter 8.2.5.9)
"Reset power failure".
TestActive The device executes the ADC test. The read weight value is not the
gross value, but the test value.
CalActive The device is/has been congured.
When this bit is 1, the weighing parameters (EXPO/UNIT/STEP) must
be read again.
Set after "Power on" and reset after reading the FSD.
TareActive Device has been tared.

form: 0 to 255.
0 = 000000
1 = 00000.0
2 = 0000.00
3 = 000.000
4 = 00.0000
5 = 0.00000
1: UNIT One byte for the weight unit; content in decimal form: 0 to 255
1 = mg (milligrams)
2 = g (grams)
3 = kg (kilograms)
4 = t (tons)
5 = lb (pounds)
