Net weight symbol
In the standard output format, net weights are not specially identified. If you want the net
weights to be preceded by an “N”, you must activate this function and also specify the field
length (1 – 10 characters). The net symbol is aligned left-justified in the field. Note: If the
balance has not been tared, the net symbol is not transmitted. Instead, space characters
corresponding to the selected field length are transmitted.
Factory setting: Net weight symbol deactivated.
Field length 5 characters.
Format of the weight value
To format the weight value, the following options are available:
“Field length”: Total length of the data field for the weight value including
sign, decimal point, and decimal places (1 – 20 characters).
Note: Irrespective of your setting, enough decimal places will
always be output for the weight value shown on the terminal
to be completely transmitted. The weight value is output right-
justified. Factory setting: 10.
“No. of dec. digits”: Number of decimal places (0 – 6 digits). If the set number
is less than the number of decimal places displayed on the
terminal, the value will be rounded to the selected number of
decimal places before it is transmitted. Factory setting: Max.
number of decimal places of the balance.
“Sign”: When set to “Always”, the weight value is always preceded by a
plus or minus sign. If you select “Neg. values”, negative values
will be preceded by a minus sign, but positive values will be
transmitted without a sign. Factory setting: “Neg. values”.
“Sign position”: You can use this setting to specify whether the sign should
be immediately in front of the weight value (right justified) or
with a gap in between (left justified). Factory setting: Right
justified (immediately in front of the weight value).
