The baud rate and data format are fixed with responses to serial commands being within 300 milliseconds. One second should be adequate for use as a time-out value by a remote (controlling) device.

8.5.1The length of the weight field will be a 7 digit weight data, one for minus sign, one for decimal point, two for measuring unit (e.g. “lb”, “kg”). Units of measure abbreviations are always lower case.

If the weight is overcapacity, the scale will return nine ‘^’ characters (the field of minus sign, decimal point, weight data is filled by ‘^’).

If the weight is under capacity, it will return nine ‘-’ characters (the field of minus sign, decimal point, and weight data is filled by ‘_’).

If the zero point has an error, it will return nine ‘-’ characters.

The character will be ‘-’ for negative weight or aspace character for positive weight. A minus sign follows after the first digit.

Unused leading zero’s before digits are suppressed.
