Application Functions 13.4 Auto Print Using Auto Print allows measurement results to be automatically output via the RS-232C connector or DATA I/O connector without pressing the [PRINT] key with every measurement. This function can be combined with WindowsDirect (see 6.). When Auto Print is activated, if a sample weighing 10 counts or more is placed on the pan while the mass displayed is within ±5 counts of zero, the result is output via the RS-232C cable or DATA I/O connector automatically upon display stabilization.

    13. Application Functions 13.7 Formulation Mode This function is convenient for making many measurements of minute samples and seeking the total mass. In this mode with any unit, when a sample is placed on the pan and [PRINT] key is pressed, that value is output via the RS-232C cable or DATA I/O connect and automatic taring is performed each time afterwards.

In the Formulation Mode, place the container (if used) on the pan and press [O/T] key to tare. (Taring is accepted only before weighing the first sample.) Place the sample (first component) in the con- tainer and press [PRINT] key.

    14. Communication with Peripheral Devices 14.2.2 Data Format Data format 1 (“F-dF1” in menu item selection) is the Shimadzu’s standard data format. (See 14.3.3.5) The following is the details of this data format. (1) Basic format An example of data format for a negative weight value (-21.6865g) with delimiter of C/R is shown.
  • Page 95 14. Communication with Peripheral Devices (iii) When the delimiter “C/R+L/F” is selected (Refer to 14.3.3.2) The delimiter information requires one more character. Therefore one more byte is added after Position No.13 in the above example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 byte longer. (3) Data format in case of “oL”...
