Bosch BS series: Baud rate 1200, no parity, 1 stop, 8 data bits.
Bosch EP, DMS series: Baud rate 1200, no parity, 1 stop, 7 data bits.
Both types requires a special cable but it comes with the device. Datalyse first attempts connecting with 8 data bits and 1 stop bit and, if it fails, with 7 data bits and 2 stop bits.
Command for weighing is »w« or »s«. The balance responds with:
NNNBBBBDDDDDDDDBUUUUCRLF
a total of 22 character. Datalyse cuts the first 3 characters and removes all non-numeric characters and converts the remaining to a number. The unit is read before each measuring series.
Note that the balance should be readied for communication with a pc first. Bosch has changed the default settings, e.g. baud rate, several times. The functions of the balances have also been changed. This makes it difficult to give a general description of the setting, but Datalyse assumes:
Note that Autoprint ON will have the balance send data to the pc regularly. This might cause errors in the communication and should therefore be off.
