10.6 Data Formats
10.6.1 Stream Serial Data Format
If stream data transmission is configured for the communication ports (
STRLFT
or
STRIND
), by default the 880
sends data using the Rice Lake Weighing Systems serial data format shown in Figure 10-1:
ASCII 02
decimal
Polarity:
< space > = Positive
<–> = Negative
W eight: 7 digits, right-justified, dummy
zer o es, d ecimal point w ith no leadin g
zer oes except for leading zer o immediately
pr eceding the decimal point. Leading
zer oes transmitted as spaces.
L = pounds
K = kilogram s
T = tons (T , TN )
O = ounces
G = grams
< space > = NONE
G = Gr oss
N = Net
Status:
< space > = valid
I = Invalid
M = Motion
O = Over/under range
or
Z = Center zero
Figure 10-1. Stream Serial Data Format
SFMT parameter default – <2>
Note
Format can be changed, see Section 10.7.
The character values can be changed for the stream format tokens, see Table 6-10 on page 70.
If the COM port is set to TYPE = RS485, the port will not stream data, and cannot be used in a local/remote
application. See Section 10.6.3.
10.6.2 Print Output Serial Data Format
When print format is configured for the demand (print) port in the setup menus, the 880 uses a data string formatted
for a basic ticket printout. The particular print format printed depends on the indicator configuration. See
Section 7.0 for print formatting.
Use the EDP commands, Revolution
®
or the front panel to fully customize the print to work with a wide variety of
printers, and other remote equipment.
