Note:
• The data is divided with commas (,) for each data.
• The terminator (end of the data) is CR (ASCII code 0DH), LF (ASCII code 0AH).
• The control data for the items 1 – 4 are for expansion. They are not used presently so the receiving side can ignore them.
• Because of its specifications, the scale will output an irrelevant signal approximately 0.1 second after data output. Make sure you ignore this
signal and do not import it.
[Output example]
• When the WB-8000RW's Mode Selection Switch is set to ON, both wireless output and USB output
can be used. USB transmission will be set to output-only, and when the display is set your weight
and BMI will be automatically output. The LED will be green.
• When the WB-8000RW's Mode Selection Switch is set to USB ONLY, only USB output can be used.
USB transmission will be possible in both directions (input and output). The LED will be blue.

<Data Format when Mode Selection Switch is Set to USB ONLY>
• This mode is used to control the WB-8000RW via computer.
• This scale is not capable of receiving instructions from an external device. When using the ON mode.
