5.4.7. Computer output
The NexWeigh can be connected to a variety of computer systems utilizing the

chart provided earlier in this section. Ensure that all protocol (baud rate, parity, etc)
matches at both devices connected.
Up to 6 data items are available for transmission; Gross, Tare, Net, Time, Date, and
ID in that order. Each item is separated by a carriage return (CR) and a line feed
(LF). All items enabled in the setup menu will be sent. If the instrument is in Gross
mode, only gross weight will be sent. If the instrument is in Net mode, gross, tare
and net will be sent if GTN is selected in config menu, or net only if NET is selected.
The table below shows a typical wiring diagram to a computer equipped with a db9
connector.
