Activating a Data Output Process
You can define the data Output parameter so that output is activated when a print command is received, or is activated
automatically. You have two options for the automatic mode: data output can be either synchronous with the balance display
or activated at defined intervals (to select the parameter, see "Part III: Utilities").
Data Output by Print Command
The print command can be transmitted by a Software command or by pressing the print key.
You can connect an external universal switch for remote control to the balance interface port (for the print function, see:
"Part III") in addition to an interface cable for a different device. For the switch, use pins 8 and 15 of this port and a cable up
to 1.5 m or 5 ft long.
lf data output is requested by a Software command (see the section on "Data lnput Formats"), you can install a 15 m (50 ft)
cable for RS232C or a 300 m (984 ft) cable for RS423.
Automatic Data Output
In the "auto print" operating mode, the data are Output to the interface port without requiring a print command. You can
choose to have data Output automatically at defined print intervals with or without the stability parameter. Whichever
parameter you choose, the data will be Output as the readouts appear on the balance display.
lf you select the auto print setting, data will be transmitted immediately the moment you turn on the balance. Automatic data
Output can be stopped and restarted either when you press the print key, or when an external print command is received, if
you have set menu code 6 2 1.
These data Output functions are described in "Part III: Utilities."
