Data Input Format
You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands via the scale
interface port to control scale functions and applications.
The commands sent are control commands and may have different formats;
e.g., control commands can have up to 26 characters. Each character must
be transmitted according to the settings configured in the Setup menu for
data transmission.
