Output Formats
Data output can be initiated in one of three ways: 1) By pressing the Print
button; 2) Using the Print Interval feature; 3) Sending a print command (P)
from a computer.
RS232 Commands
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Only the
characters shown in the following table are acknowledged by the Moisture
Analyzer. Invalid command response "ES" error indicates the Moisture
Analyzer has not recognized the command. Commands sent to the Moisture
Analyzer must be terminated with a Line Feed or carriage return-line line feed
(CRLF). Data output by the Moisture Analyzer is always terminated with a
carriage return - line feed (CRLF).
