The Parameter screen configures the weight measure unit, graduation size, decimal point
load cell capacity, motion tolerance, and instrument and operator IDs.
Parameter
Description
Tare
The value you enter allows you to avoid pushing the Tare button each time you weigh something.
Range: .000001 - 999999
Default: 0.0
Zero
Weight unit limit from zero that the application controller accepts as gross zero during the zeroing function
(when you push the Zero button).
Range: .000001 – 999999
Default: 10.0
Mode
Weight source to use as the set point input.
Range: Net, Gross
Default: Gross
Capacity
Scale’s nominal operating capacity (the total weight capacity of the scale system). If this value is exceeded by
eight graduations when configured using one of the certified modes, dashes appear on the front display to
show that the certified scale limit has been exceeded.
Range: .000001 - 999999
Default: 999999
Motion Tolerance
Amount of deviation to allow for your process. This value must be greater than or equal to the Graduation
Sizes. To calculate the base motion number, use the following formula: Base Motion Number = (Total Load
Cell Capacity x 0.0003). Motion Tolerance must be greater than or equal to the Graduation Sizes. We
recommend three graduation sizes.
Range: .000001 – 999999
Default: 10
Instrument ID
Unique identification for the application controller. The ID appears at the top left of the screen.
Range: 16 alphanumeric characters

numbers that adequately identifies the user.
