5.2 RS232 Interface
NavigatorTM balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232 compatible interface for communication with printers and computers. When the balance is connected directly to a printer, displa yed data can be output at an y time by simply pressing PRINT, or by using the Auto Print feature.
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate the balance from the computer , as well as receive data such as displayed weight, weighing mode, stability status, etc.
The following sections describe the hardware and soft­ware provided with the balance
Hardware
On the rear of the balance, the 9-pin male subminiature “D” connector is provided for interfacing to other devices. The pinout and pin connections are shown in the adjacent illustration.
The balance will not output any data unless pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ON state (+3 to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing the CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to defeat it.
IMPORTANT: An Ohaus RS232 cable is required to operate with this balance. A standard RS232 cable will not work. See Accessories listed in paragraph 5.7.
Output Formats
Data output can be initiated in one of three ways: 1) By pressing PRINT; 2) Using the Auto Print feature; 3) Sending a print command (“P”) from a computer.
The output format is illustrated in the RS232 command table which follows.

Calibration
Refer to paragraph 3.3 and calibrate the balance before
3.3 Calibration
Navigator balances offer a choice of two calibr ation methods: Span Calibr ation, and Linearity Calibration.
Span
- Span calibration ensures that the balance reads correctly within specifications using two weight values: z ero and a weight value at 50% of full capacity and or 100% of the balance’s full capacity .
proceeding.
Linearity
- Linearity calibration minimizes deviation between actual and display ed weights within the balance’s weighing range . Three weight values are used: zero, a weight value at midpoint of the balance's weighing range, and a weight value at or near the balance’ s specified capacity.
Calibration Masses
Before beginning calibration, mak e sure masses are available . If you begin calibration and realize calibration masses are not available , exit the menu. The balance will retain previously stored calibration data. Calibration should be performed as necessary to ensure accurate weighing. Masses required to perf orm the procedures are listed in the adjacent table and are av ailab le as accessories.
NOTE:
Either of the calibration modes can be terminated

5.2 RS232 Interface
NavigatorTM balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232 compatible interface f or comm unication with printers and computers. When the balance is connected directly to a printer, displa yed data can be output at any time by simply pressing PRINT, or by using the Auto Print feature.
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate the balance from the computer , as well as receive data such as display ed w eight, weighing mode, stability status, etc.
The following sections describe the hardware and software provided with the balance
Hardware
On the rear of the balance, the 9-pin male subminiature “D” connector is provided f or interf acing to other devices. The pinout and pin connections are shown in the adja­cent illustration.
The balance will not output any data unless pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ON state (+3 to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing the CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to defeat it.
IMPORT ANT: An Ohaus RS232 cable is required to operate with this balance. A standard RS232 cable will not work. See Accessories listed in paragraph 5.7.
Output Formats
Data output can be initiated in one of three ways: 1) By pressing PRINT; 2) Using the Auto Print feature; 3) Sending a print command (“P”) from a computer.
The output format is illustrated in the table which follows .

switches may be installed as shown in the diagram. Momentary contact switches must be used.
RS232 Commands
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Char acters shown in the following table are acknowledged by the balance. Invalid command re­sponse "ES" error indicates the balance has not recog­nized the command. Commands sent to the balance must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line line feed (CRLF). Data output by the balance is always terminated with a carriage return - line feed (CRLF).
