Check the wires. Can't tell you how many days I wasted on a not quite completely broken ground wire. The only thing worse than no grounding is intermittent grounding.

Don't worry, I have checked the ground (& TX, RX) lines multiple times!

Hi,
Are you sure that after a zero the tare weight should be zero? Usually the zero command zeroes the NET weight, not the tare
|
|
|
|
|
I was going by the garbled instructions I had. A method of Zeroing everything is required. I have contacted the scale manufacturer to try to get some data on how to do it.

Per Vanniaz’s comment, maybe there is another “T\r\n” Tare command?
I could see Z meaning there is nothing on it/initial setup.
Empty truck/container/beaker is set on scale, send T to set Tare.
Later send P once truck/container/beaker is filled.
Documentation rules!

I suggest buying one of these[^]. I still have mine. The TRS-80 Model 100 was fantastic for debugging serial interface stuff.

I often use this handy tool to debug serial issues:
Device Monitoring Studio: High-Performance Connections Data Logging & Analyzing Software
Despite the fact that it is a paid for product, thier is a "Free" version that has reduced features, but is perfectly usable for basic serial comms spying.
If the scale has a sample program with it for example, just run this, attach to the serial port, then run the demo app and see exactly what it's doing, byte for byte.
I've used it many times to do exactly that. In one case I figured out that the "visible" commands I could see, where actually all prefixed by a non visible 0x01 byte, and whoever had put the manual together, had not known this byte was in front, and thus just typed the manual up as "ABC..." rather than "0x01ABC" (I was told when I contacted the devices support team to report my findings.)
If you elect to go for the paid version, it does all sorts of neat things like Modbus protocol analysis and lot's of other protocol decoders.

anagram-solver.net gives about 27 of them. Some of them are clearly French or Italian, but there are a few we'd get away with.

today I get a license of UltraEdit and plan to play around with it.
Just be curious: what is your favorite features for UltraEdit?

Probably "Uninstall": I've never used it or wanted to ... for text / binary file editing, I use PSPad - it'#s free and does everything I need. For source code I use VS because why wouldn't you?

for binary file editing i recommend "010 Editor" . it is noţ free but it is a pleasure to utilize but mostly it offers templates . or i can give you my copy of "FileRay" the 1st binary file editor which utilized templates 2y prior to 010 . it was written for XP . i am not certain of its' function under 10 / 11 .

may i please inquire to which tool you refer id est "010 Editor" or "FileRay"

I've been using NotePad++ but I may switch, PSPad looks a lot more lightweight.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

I tried to keep up with a number of editors at some point, but pretty much gave up. VS is (obviously) my daily driver, but I'll use VS Code every once in a while, although less so as time progresses as I'm rather annoyed there's now so much extra crap it takes quite a bit of time to load. Every new version seems to pack more, and that's not a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
If I'm just browsing plain-text files, nothing still beats Notepad in terms of load time (a must, IMNSHO). Unless the file is huge.

From their web site
"secure text editor."
Why does a text editor need to be "secure"?
Myself I have been using Textpad (paid version) for several decades. Only problem with it is that it only runs on Windows (most of the time not a problem.) The license is really flexible.
