WEIGHT ON DEMAND FORMATS

Weight On Demand
If the continuous output was not selected for the serial port, Cont1=0, the USB Device port,
Cont2=0 or the optional Ethernet port, Cont3=0 and the indicator is connected to a
computer for transmission of weight data to a PC-based EMR (electronic medical record)
software program, it will transmit a single set of weight data each time the computer sends an
weight request "ENQ" (hex 05) or a SMA weight request "W". This is known as Weight-On-
Demand. Examples and explanation of the data format transmitted are shown below.
