  • Page 108: Communication Protocol

    General Information A. A character based communication protocol (balance-indicator) is designed for establishing communication between a RADWAG balance and a peripheral device. B. The protocol consists of commands sent from a peripheral device to the weighing device and responses from the weighing device.
