BM series 4510.4. Description Of The Item "Data Output Mode"The parameter setting of "Data output mode (prt)" applies to the performance when the "Datamemory (data)" parameter is set to "2" (to store the weighing data) and when the data istransmitted using the RS-232C interface.Key modeWhen the PRINT key is pressed with the stabilization indictor turned on, the balance outputs orstores the weighing data and the display blinks one time.Required setting dout prt 0 Key modeAuto print modes A and BWhen the displayed value is stable and the conditions of "Auto print polarity", "Auto printdifference" and reference value are met, the balance outputs or stores the weighing data.When the PRINT key is pressed with the stabilization indictor turned on, the balance outputs orstores the data and the display blinks one time.Auto print mode AExample For weighing each time a sample is placed and removed, with "ar-d" setto "1" (to adjust zero after the data is output).Required setting dout prt 1 Auto print mode A (reference = zero)dout ap-p Auto print polaritydout ap-b Auto print differencedout ar-d 1 Zero after outputAuto print mode BExample For weighing while a sample is added.Required setting dout prt 2 Auto print mode B (reference = last stable value)dout ap-p Auto print polaritydout ap-b Auto print differenceStream modeThe balance outputs the weighing data continuously regardless of the display condition. When thedisplay refresh rate is set to 5 times / second (5pd 0), the data output rate is also set to the same5 times / second. The display does not blink in this mode. The interval memory mode is usedwhen the "Data memory (data)" parameter is set to "1" (to store the weighing data).Example For monitoring data on a computer.Required setting dout prt 3 Stream modedout data 0 Data memory function is not usedba5fnc 5pd Display refresh rate5if bp5 Baud rateCaution The balance may not transmit the data completely at the specified refresh rate,depending on the baud rate or time, date and ID number appended to the weighing data.Interval modeThe weighing data is periodically stored in memory.Example For periodical weighing without a personal computer command and tooutput all of the data, to a computer, at one time.Required setting dout prt 3 Interval modedout data 1 Data memory function is useddout int Interval time
