11. XML Interface

A user application can retrieve the sensor settings in XML format by using standard Ethernet HTTP requests. This
enables programs to read system settings such as the Counts per Force value. The Java
from these XML pages to correctly scale displayed data.
In the following tables, the data types of XML elements are as follows:
Data Type

The values of all data types are presented as an ASCII strings.
Arrays are represented if the suffix [i] is attached to the data type, where i indicates the number of values in the
array. Array values in an XML element may be separated by a semicolon, comma, or space.
