11   RS-232 INTERFACE 
The balances have the ability to send or receive data over the serial interfaces, RS232 and 
USB (if fitted).  Both interfaces are controlled by the parameters detailed below. If the host 
computer to be used does not have a serial port then a USB-RS232 convertor accessory 
can be used. 
 
The USB and RS232 both operate as general purpose serial data ports. Weighing data 
can be sent over the interface either...

and terminated with an end-of-transmission  ASCII character (04). These 
characters will be ignored by a serial printer but will allow a computer program which reads 
the data to distinguish between this block report format and the single-line output format
