REPORTS
The reports give us informationa about the sales made in the scale since the last due balance. All the report have the same printing format with the date and hour when its generated and consecutive of due balance. The consevutive of due balance only changes when a due balance report is generated; this way you can have the control of the sales. The details of the information depend on each report. Example:

ETHERNET INTERFACE THROUGHT A HUB

Used when the scale is connected to a PC throught a HUB or a Switch. RJ45 connector and CAT-5 cable for LAN.

Use when the scale is connected directly to the PC. RJ45 connector and CAT-5 cable for LAN.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The Communication with a LSQ series scale can be throught a RS232 serial connection or Ethernet LAN connection (if there is at the scale). Communication protocol is the same for both cases. This protocol will be explained.

FRAME
Communication for writing or reading is formed by frames. Each frame is divided in command, data and several controls characters.

All the bytes transmitted into the frame are printable characters, with the following execeptions. 0x09 TAB 0x0A LF 0x0C FF 0x0D CR 0x1B ESC NOTE: All the numeric data fields must be transmitted in ASCII format. COMMAND The command has alway 12 characters. The first 6 characters are the memory address of the record that we make reference to. All the addresses begin at 0. The character number seven corresponds to the action that you want to take. The character number eight represents the group of data to write or read. The last four characters are used for special functions. Character Seven. G Write L Read E Special functions Character Eight. P PLUs p Prices V Agents T Taras I Ingredients F Formats f Date and Hour t texts C configuration In many cases memory address can be ignored for its not matther for the command.

26

DATA When your send or receive frames from the scale, the frame are divided in many data fields separeted only by a TAB( ASCII 0x09). That is to reduce the number of command to communicate with the scale. END As frame length is variable, its necessary to finish the frame with a carrier return(ASCII 0x0D). That is to know there is not more data in the frame. SYNCHRONIZATION WRITTING. When data are sending to the scale, the PC always begins the connection. It sends a command and data with the required action and the scale recieves the frame and processes it. READING. When data are reading from the scale, the PC always begin the connection. It send a command with the required petition. The scale recieves the frame and processes the command. The scale responds with the same command and required data. REPORTS. When you need to obtain a report from the scale, the PC always begins the connection. It sends a command with the required report. The scale recieve the frame and process the command. The scale responds with the same command and required data. One report can need many frames until to end, the scale sent to the computer all the frames necessary to end the report. The final frame can be identified by the word END in the final command.
