   timerReqWeight.Start(100, true);

...

MNBD_EVENT(WtRcv)
{
   if(IsGrossWtChanged(1))
   {
      DisplayText(0, 40, GetChangedGrossWt(1), 0, BIG_FONT);
   }
   return 0;
}

BACKGROUND_EVENT(Comm)
{
   // Use MnBdRead directly to prevent overhead of MnBdProcess

   int n;
   // in case we have more I/O cards than scales change this
   for(n = 0; n <= GetNumScales(); n++)
   {
      // 0 = MNBD_DEV, 1 .. Scales and I/O cards
      MnBdRead(n);
   }

   if(timerReqWeigt.IsExpired() == true)
   { 
      MnBdRequest(1, MNBD_REQ_GET_WT, NO_WAIT_ACK);
