Serial Data Considerations
W h e n o p e r a t i n g i n l ive w e i g h i n g m o d e w i t h
AUTOPRT set OFF, ensure that the acquired weight
display time (DSPTIM parameter) is set to a large
enough value to allow the operator time to press the
PRINT key to generate a demand print ticket, if
required. In live weighing mode, the PRINT key can
send data to the serial port only while the acquired
weight is displayed; pressing the
PRINT key at any
other time acquires a new weight sample.
Demand print data (SERIAL menu STREAM
parameter set OFF) uses the NFMT ticket format if a
tare is in the system, GFMT if no tare is acquired or
entered. The format command on the GFMT
ticket and the format command on the NFMT
ticket both represent the animal weight.
When streaming continuous data (SERIAL menu
STREAM parameter set to LFT or INDUST), the
weight data displayed or printed depends on the value
set for the WEIMOD parameter: If WEIMOD is set to
BLANK and no weight data is shown on the current
display, streamed weight data is also blank.
