Additional Parity Bit 0 1 when additional parity code is added in text, 0 when not
Note
If the additional parity is 0x0d, 0x0a or 0x00, it will be changed to 0x1d or 0x10 respectively.
If it is the type A with high speed, the data should be less than 30 bytes.

3.4 Communication Method
Note
The communication method is dependent on specification settings. See Section 2.3 on page 9. 
The data communication methods that can be selected are Stream (continuous), Manual and Command. 
In each type of data transmission the weight stable check is dependent on the Specification 3 setting.
3.4.1 Type A (Standard Stream)
The data is transmitted to the PC continuously.
PC DSX-1000
Figure 3-1. Type A (Standard Stream) Communication
3.4.2 Type W (Standard Manual)
The data is sent by pressing . Data can be transmitted immediately or held until the weight becomes stable,
depending on the Specification 3 setting.
PC DSX-1000
See Section 2.3 on page 9.

Communication 15
3.4.3 Type B (Standard Command)
The data transmission starts when a command is received from an external source (PC).

3.5.3 Setpoint Signal ON Timing
When the weight display reaches each programmed value, the setpoint signal turns ON. The following figure
shows an example of the setpoint signal ON timing.
Note
When a programmed setpoint value is zero, the setpoint signal will not be ON.
Figure 3-4. Setpoint Signal ON Timing
3.5.4 Setpoint Output Control
By using additional external circuitry the outputs can be triggered by changes in weight. Figure 3-5 is a sample
circuit diagram, showing how the outputs would be wired to relays to drive additional loads with other voltage or
current requirements, and is for reference only.
