CAL: Units

This parameter displays the calibration units.  The first line of secondary display
shows the current units in the right most two characters of the first line.  It is
possible to calibrate in any of the units below.

lb

kg

oz

g

user

Allows a user defined non-metrological unit to be defined.

lb:oz

After setting the units, press TARE (

) to enter the capacity review menu.

CAL: Current Cap

This menu will show the current full scale capacity and decimal point position in
the primary display.  No configuration changes are possible in this menu, it is
used for capacity review only.  The capacity is displayed in the units selected in
CAL: Units above.

Capacities in all units can be recalled by pressing GROSS/NET (

) to return to

the Cal: Units menu.  Change the Cal: Units parameter to any unit you wish to
recall.  Press TARE (

) to return to this parameter to display the capacity of the

current Cal: Unit parameter value.  Be sure to change the Cal: Unit parameter
value back to your calibration unit before calibrating.

Press TARE (

).  This will place you in the count by and decimal point configuration

menu.  Attempting to select a restricted setting will generate a RESOLUTION ERROR
on the secondary display.  These settings have been restricted, because they could cause
an abnormal operating mode.  Please note, that changing the count by and decimal point
location will force the CAL: Capacity value to zero.
