Communications Ports

The settings for the ports are fixed settings and are not accessible. The data output string for
RS232 / RS422 is shown below:

Baud: 19200 Data Bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

<

STX>[Sequence Number][Track Number][Error][Box Weight][CRC]

STX = 0x02
Sequence Number = one (1) character; 1-9 auto incrementing
D = 0x44
Track Number = six (6) characters (6); 1- 999999 auto incrementing
Error = one (1) character. See Error Codes.
Box Weight = four (4) characters. 4 digit box weight. No decimal point.
CRC = four (4) characters. CRC check digit.
CR = 0x0D
LF* = 0x0A; Only added to data string if the file “Include.LF” exists in the c:\NewScale directory.

Error Codes

Bit 0 = 1 = too few box weighments.
Bit 1 = 1 = more than two (2) boxes on the scale.
Bit 2 = 1 = two (2) boxes on the scale.
Bit 3 = 1 = error calculating box weight.
Bit 4 = 0 = always zero (spare bit)
Bit 5 = 0 = always zero (spare bit)
Bit 6 = 0 = always zero (spare bit)
Bit 7 = 1 = always one.
