Rules for Responses
•
If a response is received, it will be processed and no weight will be transmitted
(unless it is a CR and mode is TP).
•
One response will be processed at a time.
•
Responses may be received in any transmission mode.
•
Changing from TP/TC Mode to TW Mode resets the 5 second timer so that other
settings may be changed before a weight is transmitted.
•
*Setting the filter factor, output rate, transmission mode or units through the serial
port puts the scale in a customized state.
−
In the customized state, the
lb/kg/BT
mode switch (located on the
underside) is ignored on Power-up.
−
The scale may be taken out of the customized state by reception of the DEF
Command through the serial port or by using the spare switch.
Stable Weighment Cycle – TW mode
After a successful Power up Sequence and Inquiry Cycle, the scale is in a
Weighment Mode
.
•
The display shows either the
current weight
or ‘
0.0
’.
•
To preserve battery life, the user has thirty (30) seconds to step on the scale,
−
After thirty (30) seconds, if no weight is detected or if the weight is unstable,
the scale powers-down.
•
If weight is detected and once the weight is stable, it is captured and displayed on
the LCD.
−
A dual audible beep indicates the end of the weighment cycle.
•
In the event that the scale incurs an error condition, it is indicated on the display
along with an audible alarm.
Transmission Cycle
The
Transmission Cycle
is the data transfer to a computer or other device,
and then on to the Professional Office (if applicable).
•
Only the weighment information is transmitted, which consists of the
weight
data
and
units
.
