* The balance can return responses to commands from a PC.
When a command is received normally, OK (C/R) is returned and when a command is received abnormally, NG (C/R) is
returned.
Selecting one of the settings from "MODE1" to "MODE5"
allows you to set all of the following items at once: baud
rate (communication speed), parity (bit length), stop bit,
handshake, data format, delimiter.

The user can set each item
