PRINT OUTPUT SETTING DATA FORMAT

The VET550 Digital Veterinary Scale weight display USB port can be connected to a computer
for transmission of weight data to an EMR (electronic medical record) software program. The
VET550 can be configured to transmit the weight data continuously (when the weight
becomes stable) or one time when receiving a weight request "P" (50h) or "p" (70h) from the
host computer. This is known as Weight-On-Demand. Examples and explanations of the data
format transmitted are shown below.
If is selected for
data continuously when the weight becomes stable.
If was selected for
one time when receiving a weight request "P" (50h) or "p" (70h) from the host computer.
When the weight is stable or the scale receives a "P" (50h) or "p" (70h) command:
The scale will respond with the following 31-byte weight strings:
Line 1 – Gross Weight
