B.2.2 CONTINUOUS MODE

The scale provides a full duplex, continuous serial transmission mode. This mode is

configured in the A3 sub-menu of the User Menu. See Chapter 5 for more

information. The continuous mode is used to interface to computers,

scoreboards, and other remote devices requiring constant data updating.

The transmission occurs at the end of each display update. Figure B-7

shows the serial data format for Continuous Mode.
