CD-11 Indicator
4.12.3 Automatic Display Hold (dHAuto)
When dHAuto is selected, the Automatic Display Hold mode becomes active
immediately upon exiting the SetuP menu. In this case, the display hold
operation is started and cleared automatically. When the load on the platform
is within 5d of zero, the scale is in the ready mode with the Display Hold cursor
blinking.
When a load exceeding 5d above zero is placed on the platform, the highest
stable weight reading will be frozen on the display and the Display Hold cursor
will stop blinking. Example 5kg.
If an additional weight exceeding 5d above the current Display Hold value is
added to the scale (example 10kg), the value will be replaced by the new
Display Hold value.
When the load is removed to within 5d of zero, the Display Hold value is sent to
the RS232, the display is unfrozen, the scale returns to the ready mode and the
Display Hold cursor resumes blinking. The Indicator retains the current weight
display until a new load exceeding 5d of zero is placed on the platform. The
Display Hold value can also be cleared, without sending the value to the
RS232, by turning the scale off.
4.13 RS232 Commands
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Characters shown in the following table are
acknowledged by the Indicator. Invalid command response "ES" error indicates the Indicator has not recog-
nized the command. Commands sent to the Indicator must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or car-
riage return-line feed (CRLF). Data output by the Indicator is always terminated with a carriage return - line feed
(CRLF). See section 2.6.6 for RS232 and Print Setup.
Data output can be initiated in one of two ways:
1. By pressing the PRINT/ Units button, or
2. Sending a print command ("P") from a computer.
