7.1 Interface protocol

RS-232 Parameters
- Baud rate:
-
Data bit:
-
Parity:
- Stop bit:
The measured value is requested by the ASCII character "9".
The returned measured value looks like this:
e.g. 0011.70 means -11.70 Newton if Newton is set
|_______ > first character describes the sign (0 = minus = pressure; 1 = plus = pull)
|-------- |____> the remaining 6 digits
character string
or: 1021.15 means +21.15 N (tractive force)

Warnings

Incorrectly performed force measurements can lead to serious injury to persons and
damage to objects and must therefore only be performed by trained and experienced
personnel.
In particular, it must be avoided that forces act on the purchased measuring instrument
that exceed the maximum load (Max) of the instrument or that do not act axially on the
instrument via the external load cell; or if high impulse forces act on the measuring
instrument.
Avoid twisting the loadcell, otherwise it could be damaged and the measuring accuracy
will decrease in any case.
