5.1.General
This function is provide as standard for sending weight data (net & tare
weight)
to peripheral units such as PC, thus enabling the use of data transaction
and analysis.
In case of Net weight = 1.230lb. , tare weight = - 0.450lb.

NOTE:
• Net weight and tare weight excluding a sign is transmitted shifting to the right.
• When it is minus data (2DH) or (30H), net and tare weight data are transmitted
setting 2DH or 30H into the left-most 1byte of each 7 bytes data.
• In case of over weight, the data will be transmitted as follows:
