5.0 EDP Commands<br />

The <strong>IQ</strong> plus <strong>355</strong> indicator can be controlled by a<br />

personal computer or remote keyboard connected to<br />

the indicator EDP port. Control is provided by a set of<br />

EDP commands that can simulate front panel key<br />

press functions, display and change setup parameters,<br />

and perform reporting functions. The EDP port<br />

provides the capability to print configuration data or to<br />

save that data to an attached personal computer. This<br />

section describes the EDP command set and<br />

procedures for saving and transferring data using the<br />

EDP port.<br />

5.1 The EDP Command Set<br />

The EDP command set can be divided into five<br />

groups: key press commands, reporting commands,<br />

the RESETCONFIGURATION special function<br />

command, parameter setting commands, and transmit<br />

weight data commands.<br />

When the indicator processes an EDP command, it<br />

responds with the message OK. The OK response<br />

verifies that the command was received and has been<br />

executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot<br />

be executed, the indicator responds with ??.<br />

The following sections list the commands and<br />

command syntax used for each of these groups.<br />

5.1.1 Key Press Commands<br />

Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate<br />

pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator.<br />

Most commands can be used in both setup and<br />

weighing mode. Several of the commands serve as<br />

“pseudo” keys, providing functions that are not<br />

represented by a key on the front panel.<br />

For example, to enter a 15-pound tare weight using<br />

EDP commands:<br />

1. Type K1 and press ENTER (or RETURN).<br />

2. Type K5 and press ENTER.<br />

3. Type KTARE and press ENTER. The display<br />

shifts to net mode when the tare is entered.<br />

Command Function<br />

KZERO In weighing mode, press the ZERO key<br />

KGROSSNET In weighing mode, press the<br />

GROSS/NET key<br />

KGROSS Go to gross mode (pseudo key)<br />

KNET Go to net mode (pseudo key)<br />

KTARE Press the TARE key<br />

KUNITS In weighing mode, press the UNITS key<br />

KPRIM Go to primary units (pseudo key)<br />

KSEC Go to secondary units (pseudo key)<br />

KNEWID Enter new ID (pseudo key)<br />

KPRINT In weighing mode, press the PRINT key<br />
