Synchronization
During data communication between the
balance/scale and an on-line device (computer),
messages consisting of ASCII characters are
transmitted via the interface. For error-free data
communication, the parameters for baud rate,
parity, handshake mode and character format
must be the same for both units.
You can set these parameters in the Setup menu
so that they match those of the on-line device.
You can also define parameters in the balance/
scale to make data output dependent on various
conditions. The conditions that can be config-
ured are described for each of the application
programs.
If you do not plug a peripheral device into
the balance/scale interface port, this will not
generate an error message.
Handshake
The balance/scale interface (Sartorius Balance
Interface = SBI) has transmit and receive buffers.
You can define the handshake parameter in the
Setup menu:
– Hardware handshake (CTS/DTR)
– Software handshake (XON, XOFF)
Hardware Handshake
With a 4-wire interface, 1 or 2 more characters
can be transmitted after CTS.
