75 PBS/PBJ-BA-e-131417.4 User Settings17.4.1 OverviewThis menu is used to determine technical data of communication between thebalance and a computer or electronic printer.Note:This menu applies both to the RS-232C interface and DATA I/O interface.For the device to which the DATA I/O interface is connected e.g. electronic printer,the balance communication parameters should be set to the standard settings i.e.select the following menu elements: 76, 77, 83, 89, 92, 94.17.4.2 HandshakingThe handshake function determines whether or not peripheral devices can receivecommunication data from the balance. It does not transfer the balance status to theperipheral devices. The balance can receive data as long as there is a free space inits receive buffer memory. This function is ready for operation when the „oFF” symbolis displayed. Its reliable operation in other states cannot be guaranteed.If the balance data output is interrupted by the handshake function, the balancedisplay is locked.Enter the suitable settings for the handshake function.If the software handshake function is not to be performed, select the menuelement73If the software handshake function is to be performed in the way describedbelow, select the menu element• When the X-OFF (13H) command is received by the balance, thebalance data output is stopped.• When the X-ON (11H) command is received by the balance, thebalance data output is started.74If the hardware handshake function is to be performed in the way describedbelow, select the menu element• If the DTR parameter is set to OFF, the balance data output isstopped.• If the DTR parameter is set to ON, the balance data output isstarted.75To call up the time controlled hardware handshake function, select themenu element76
