Laurel Electronics LAUREATE SERIES Serial Comunications - Manual (Page 10)

The measurement data format with both of these parameters set consists of 10 characters:
+999.99A
* * * = optional character
The coded character preceding the carriage return is a letter from A to P. It supplies the alarm,
overload and zero-blanking status of the meter according to the following table:
Alarm Status Zero Blanking No Zero Blanking
No overload Overload No overload Overload
Neither Alarm set A E I M
Alarm 1 set only B F J N
Alarm 2 set only C G K O
Both Alarms set D H L P
For example, a coded character “G” indicates that Alarm 2 only is set, the DPM is in the overload
condition and zero blanking has been selected. This information is useful when the output data is
supplied to a computer for listing and analysis or when it is supplied to a Remote Display in a
Master-Slave configuration.
The Counter and Scale meter are capable of supplying more than 1 measurement value each
reading. In the counter, depending on the selected Function, there can be 1,2 or 3 active
measurement values plus a peak value. The scale meter can transmit net, gross and peak. The
values transmitted are selected by “Ser 3”
These values are sent in a continuous string with no space between them. If Menu item “Ser 3” “Digit
5” = 1, the termination characters of and optional appear at the end of each value. If
it = 0 then the termination characters appear only once at the end of the string. In either case, the
coded character, if included, appears at the end of the last value only.
