Data Interface
Purpose
Your balance comes equipped with
an interface port for connection to a
computer or other peripheral device.
You can use a computer to change,
start and/or monitor the functions
of the balance and the application
programs.
Preparation
You can set these parameters for
other devices in the Setup menu
(see the chapter entitled "Configuring
the Balance").
Hardware Handshake
With a 4-conductor interface, 1 or 2 characters can be transmitted after CTS.
These connections must be made when the balance is connected through the
RS-232C port.

You will also find a detailed descrip-
tion of the available data interface
commands in the file "Data Interface

The many and versatile properties
of these balances can be fully utilized
for printing out records of the results
when you connect your balance to a
Denver data printer. The recording
capability for printouts makes it easy
for you to work in compliance with
ISO/GLP.
