6.3 SMA Command Set
The SMA command set is intended for requesting weight values and status information as well as
for control of the scale. The commands start with <LF> and end with <CR>.
Format: <LF>c<CR>
6.3.1 Requesting a Weight
Command
:
<LF>W<CR>
Reply: The scale immediately returns the weight and status: gross weight if not tared, net
weight if tared.
<LF><s><r><n><m><f><xxxxxx.xxx><uuu><CR>
For details, see Chapter 6.6.1 .
6.3.2 Requesting the Weight with Stability
Command
:
<LF>P<CR>
Reply: The scale returns the weight and the status only, when the stability condition is met:
Gross weight if not tared, net weight if tared.
For this function, the stability condition must be met. The maximum waiting time for
stability is set under [Tare timeout]; see Chapter 5.4.19.
<LF><s><r><n><m><f><xxxxxx.xxx><uuu><CR>
After elapse of the waiting time without reaching stability, the following reply is sent:
<LF><_><1><n><_><f><----------><___><CR>
For details, see Chapter 6.6.1 .
6.3.3 Requesting Weight Continuously
This is a command which generates non-requested replies, because it does not function according
to the strict pattern of command and reply. After the command, the scale repeats the reply
continuously.
Command
:
<LF>R<CR>
Reply: The scale repeats the weight and status information continuously until another
command is received.
<LF><s><r><n><m><f><xxxxxx.xxx><uuu><CR>
For details, see Chapter 6.6.1 .
Dependent on the used baud rate, the repetition rate of reply telegrams is roughly as follows:
19200 bd 100ms
9600 bd 110ms
4800 bd 170ms
6.3.4 Requesting the High-Resolution Weight
Command
:
