Communication - Continued
This command will be optional. It is the same as the "W" command except that when
weight is returned, it is returned with ten times the scale's displayed resolution. Thus,
for decimal weight, the length of the weight field is equal to the length of the scale's
display plus three or four, and for pounds-ounce it will be the display length plus five
or six (depending on the presence of a decimal point.)
High Resolution
Command ('H')
When the scale receives an unrecognised or unsupported command, it returns a
question mark.
