modes such as Continuous, Demand, Auto, To File, Network (Continuous), and
Network (Auto).
5.8.1. CONFIGURING AN OUTPUT DATA STRING
In order to interface an FB2550 Instrument to software or a pre-existing peripheral
device, such as a remote display, knowing their specific Output Data String is
mandatory.
– This allows the software or peripheral device to communicate with the FB2550
for weight data.
– When adding to other manufacturer’s devices, refer to their Service Manuals
for Output Data String information.
– Interfacing with other manufacturer’s software, refer to either a web site,
Service Manual, or contact the manufacturer directly for the Output Data String
information.
Fairbanks’ current programming for setting up an Output Data String provides quick
and easy flexibility for customizing the FB2550’s Serial Outputs.
5.8.2. TWO METHODS OF FORMATTING
There are two methods to format an Output Data String.
•
Use one of the five (5) preconfigured outputs under the LOAD menu.
•
Use an output string from the LOAD menu as a base configuration for
customizing an output data string which will closely match the customer’s specific
configuration requirements. Edit the string as required in the
BUILD menu.
