yyyyyy : 6 digits (ASCII decimal) of rated mV/V multiplied by 10000 for CORNER 3.

Poll the slave by using command ‘?’. Possible response messages: “ERR 91” or “CORN.4”

Master transmission:

STX ADD C 4 yyyyyy BCS2

yyyyyy : 6 digits (ASCII decimal) of rated mV/V multiplied by 10000 for CORNER 4.

Poll the slave with command ‘?’.

Slave returns to normal Weight output after command is completed.

CALIBRATE CORNERS (WEIGHT)

It is used to compute correction factors for the corners by using weight equal to 10 - 30% of each
loadcell capacity. This command is in fact a procedure having a number of steps equal to the stated
number of loadcells. Empty the scale and send command:
Master transmission:

STX ADD c 0 BCS2 BCS1

ETX

Poll the slave by using command ‘?’.

Possible response messages: “WAIT..” or “ERR 91” or “CORN.1”.

Place the test weight on scale CORNER 1,wait to stabilise and send command:
Master transmission:

STX ADD c 1 BCS2 BCS1

ETX

Poll the slave by using command ‘?’.

Possible response messages: “WAIT..” then “CORN.2” if corner 1 was ok,
or “CORN.1” if something is wrong. If the same corner is returned repeat the procedure.
Place the same test weight on scale CORNER 2, wait to stabilise and send command:
Master transmission:

STX ADD c

2 BCS2 BCS1 ETX

Poll the slave by using command ‘?’.
Possible response messages: “WAIT..” then “CORN.3” if corner 1 was ok,
or “CORN.2” if something is wrong. If the same corner is returned repeat the procedure.
Place the same test weight on scale CORNER 3, wait to stabilise and send command:
Master transmission:

STX ADD c 3 BCS2 BCS1

ETX

Poll the slave by using command ‘?’.
Possible response messages: “WAIT..” then “CORN.4” if corner 1 was ok,
or “CORN.3” if something is wrong. If the same corner is returned repeat the procedure.
Place the same test weight on scale CORNER 4, wait to stabilise and send command:
Master transmission:

STX ADD c 4 BCS2 BCS1

ETX

Poll the slave by using command ‘?’.

Possible response messages: ’WAIT..’ then ‘CORN.4’ if something is wrong else the slave

returns to normal weight output mode.

If the same corner is returned repeat the procedure .

THE VALUES ARE NOT SAVED IN EEPROM UNTIL A STORE COMMAND IS ISSUED.
