5.4 Scale Response Messages
This section details each scale response to host-scale commands. Each response has a “fixed field” data
format. Every response is deterministic with only a scale communication error being the exception. The host
can parse the scale response message with explicit rules because each field of each response message is in a
fixed position format.
