Data Input Formats
Commands can be input via the balance interface port to control balance and
application program functions.
Control commands are distinguished according to those with upper-case letters
or special characters and those with lower-case letters.
Format for Control Commands
Control commands can include up to 13 characters.
Each character must be transmitted with a start bit, a 7-bit ASCII-coded character,
a parity bit and one or two stop bits.
You can define the parity, baud rate and handshake mode, including
the number of stop bits, by programming the respective codes in the balance
operating menu (see page 5–13).
