Input commands
An input command is to control the balance from an external device. The following four input commands
are supported:
(1) Tare range command (2) Set output control command (3) Set measurement mode command (4) Span
adjustment/test command

 Procedure for transmission
(1) An input command is sent from an external device to the balance.
The full-duplex transmission system allows you to send an input command at any time independently of the
data transmit timing of the balance.
(2) Upon successful completion of an input command, the balance will send out either a normal
completion response or the result data requested by the command, to the external device.
- If the operation has not resulted in successful completion, or if the command is invalid (in error), the
balance will transmit an error response.
- When the balance is in normal display mode, it usually sends a response to a command within one
second after it is received. For a tare range command and a span adjustment/test command, a response
is sent after the command is completely processed.
- If the balance receives a tare range command when the tare range setting (Function setting: H.tr) is
set so that the display is reset to “0” when the balance is stabilized (waiting for tare range setting to be
stable), or if the balance receives an input command that takes a long time, the balance sends a
response after the command is completely processed.
- If the balance receives a command when you are setting a function, when the balance is under span
adjustment, or the balance is busy for other reasons, the command is executed after that operation is
completed.
After you have sent an input command, do not send another command to the
balance until the external device receives a response from the balance.
