For this function, the stability condition must be met. The maximum waiting time for stability
is set under [Tare timeout]; see Chapter 4.5.13.
<LF><s><r><n><m><f><xxxxxx.xxx><uuu><CR>
After elapse of the waiting time without reaching stability, the following reply is sent:

5.3.1.3 Requesting Weight Continuously

strict pattern of command and reply. After the command, the scale repeats the reply continuously.

Reply:
The scale repeats the weight and status information continuously until another command is
received.
<LF><s><r><n><m><f><xxxxxx.xxx><uuu><CR>
