The Jump Function
The jump function causes the scale to immediately operate in a given weight unit.
Using this function assures that numbers, such as tare weight or average piece
weight, entered through the RS-232 interface are interpreted in the correct units. For
example, if the average piece weight was stored by a computer in grams, it would be
necessary to ensure that the scale was operating in grams prior to sending the APW
to the scale. This feature is only available through the RS-232 interface.
To use the jump function, send the characters "nJ" to the scale. Where "J" is the jump
function command and "n" is the unit code. The units code ranges from 0 to 7 as
shown below:
Units Code Unit
0 X units
1 grams
2 ounces
3 pounds
4 troy ounces
5 pennyweights
6 carats
7 T units (tamperproof units)
Do not send any number other than 0-7.
For example, to enter an average piece weight of 0.23456 grams from a computer,
send "1J0.23456A". The "1J" sets the scale for operation in grams. The "0.23456A"
tells the scale to enter that weight into the APW register.
The jump function prevents misinterpretation of values entered from a computer.
The Verify Function
When many scales or other peripherals are connected to a computer, it is sometimes
useful for the computer to be able to check on the status of these devices. The verify
function can be used to determine the model number of a scale and determine that
the scale is functioning properly. To enable the verify function, transmit an ASCII "V".
If the scale is functioning properly, a scale will send one of the following messages
followed by carriage return and line feed:
"Setra 12000C"
"Setra 5000C"
"Setra 2000C"
"Setra 500C"
