RS232 INTERFACE
Certain models of Scout II balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232
compatible interface for communication with printers and computers. When the
balance is connected directly to a printer, displayed data can be output at any time
by using the Auto Print feature.
NOTE: The AC Adapter is recommended to power the balance when the RS232
interface is used.
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate the balance from
the computer, as well as receive data such as displayed weight and weighing
mode. The following sections describe the hardware and output signal formats
provided with the balance.
Hardware
On the rear of the balance, a 9-pin subminia-
ture “D” connector is provided for interfacing to
other devices. The pinout and pin connections
are shown in the adjacent illustration.
The balance will not output any data unless
pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ON state (+3 to +15 V
dc). Interfaces not utilizing the CTS handshake
may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to defeat it.
