After a weighing transaction is completed, a result data receipt can be printed. To initiate printing, press the
data transfer key. Data may be sent to a printer or a PC via the Torbal Communication Software.
15.1. Data Transmission and Exchange Protocol
Data Transmission (LONG):
Transmission Parameters: 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, baud rate 4800bps,
Exchange data:
ƒ Transmit the weight (equivalent to the Print Key, , in weighing:
Computer →Scale: S I CR LF (53h 49h 0Dh 0Ah) – initiating signal,
Scale →Computer: scale sends 16 Bytes of data as follows:
Byte 1 - The character ‘-‘ or space
Byte 2 - space
Bytes 3,4 - digit or space
Bytes 5-9 - digit, comma, or space
Byte 10 - digit
Byte 11 - space
Byte 12 - k, l, c, p or space (for kg,lb,ct,pc, or%)
Byte 13 - g, b, t, c or %
Byte 14 - space
Byte 15 - CR
Byte 16 - LF
ƒ ‘Tare the weight’ (corresponds to the →T← key in weighing):
Computer →Scale: S T CR LF (53h 54h 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale →Computer: no response.
ƒ ‘Zero the scale’ (corresponds to the key →0← in weighing):
Computer →Scale: S Z CR LF (53h 5Ah 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale →Computer: no reponse.
ƒ ‘Turn On / Off the Scale (corresponds to the key I/ in weighing):
Computer →Scale: S S CR LF (53h 53h 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale →Computer: no response.
ƒ ‘Display the MENU’ (corresponds to the key MENU in weighing):
Computer →Scale: S F CR LF (53h 46h 0Dh 0Ah),
Scale →Computer: no response.
ƒ Setting the threshold 1 (optional):
Computer →Scale: S L D1...DN CR LF (53h 4Ch D1...DN 0Dh 0Ah)
where: D1...DN – Threshold value, up to 8 characters,
