15. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 
General information 
A.  A character based communication protocol balance-terminal is designed for establishing 
communication between a RADWAG balance and a peripheral device via RS-232C serial 
interface. 
 
B.  It consists of commands sent from a peripheral device to the balance and responses from 
the balance. 
 
C.  Responses are sent from the balance on each receipt of a command as a reaction to a 
specific command.  
 
D.  Commands, forming the communication protocol, enable both, obtaining data on balance 
status and influencing balance operation, e.g.: acquiring measurement results from the 
balance, zeroing, etc.
