Brief information about bidirectional operation
AE balances are equipped with a full duplex data interfaces with the 013 Option, i.e., the balance can not only transmit weighing
results to a data receiver, but also receive, evaluate and carry out certain control instructions.
These instructions are listed below. A detailed explanation of these instructions can be found in the data interface description entitled,
"The 013 Bidirectional Data Output Option for AE balances (IEEE488/HP-IB)", Order Number 701326 available from METTLER
TOLEDO.
