RS232 COMMANDS
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Only the charac-
ters shown in the following table are acknowledged by the balance. Any other
commands, control characters or spaces are ignored. Commands sent to the
balance must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line
feed (CRLF). For example, a tare command should appear as shown in the dia-
gram. Data output by the balance is always terminated with a carriage return - line
feed (CRLF).
