This accessory is used to automatically send accurate weights to the instrument. The
balance is a laboratory type balance and uses the RS232 communication protocol with no
flow control. When a balance is connected, the window shown at the end of a titration that
lets users enter a weight, shows the value from the balance.
The balance automatically sends the weight and unit to the instrument in textual format:
• Messages end with <LF>, <CR> or <LF+CR>
• The numeric value of the weight must be transmitted before the unit of weight
• Allowed units of weight are g, mg and kg
• The unit of weight specifies the end of the data string used by the instrument
• Space characters are ignored
1. Set the RS232 parameters on the balance to:
• 9600 baud
• no parity
• no handshake
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
