Data Input Formats
Commands can be input via the scale interface port to control the scale functions.
Control commands with upper-case letters or special characters are distinguished
from those with lower-case letters.
Format for Control Commands
Each character must be transmitted with a start bit, a 7-bit ASCII-coded character,
a parity bit, and one or two stop bits.
You can define the parity, baud rate, handshake mode and the number of
stop bits by programming the respective codes in the scale operating menu
(see page 2–8).
Formats:
ESC = Escape (ASCII 27)
K = Command character (see next page)
X = Number
