use of simple ASCII commands. These commands can be sent through the
use of a data communications terminal, or a custom computer program. The
“MOTN DET” menu determines if printing is allowed or disallowed when
the weight is in motion and/or not stable.
3)
Print on Total:
When the weight is totaled, one transmission of data will occur. Once
transmitted, the scale must return below the Total Threshold (See Total
Setup pg. 37) to re-enable the transmission. Interval has no effect in this
mode.
Using Print on Total with the Auto Total enabled should not be used with any weight print-
out other than W7. Use “Print on Load” to print the totaled weight.
4,5 & 6) Print on Set-Point:
Set-point1, Set-point2, or Set-point 1&2 can be configured to trigger a data
print. Once transmitted, the set-point must go off then on again to transmit
again. Print on a set point can also be configured to print when two set-
points are true. This configuration allows printing when the weight is
outside two limits or when the weight is inside two limits (windowed). The
“MOTN DET” menu determines if printing is allowed or disallowed when
the weight is in motion and/or not stable.
7)
Print On Change:
Every time the weight changes 1 full display count or more, one transmis-
sion of data will occur. The “MOTN DET” menu determines if printing is
allowed or disallowed when the weight is in motion and/or not stable.
Interval has no effect in this mode.
8)
Print on Load Change:
When the load weight exceeds the Total Threshold and motion ceases, one
transmission of data will occur. Once transmitted, the scale must return
below the Total Threshold to re-enable the transmission. Interval has no
effect in this mode.
9)
Print Continuous or on Intervals:
The Data String can be transmitted continuously for driving scoreboards.
The “MOTN DET” menu determines if printing is allowed or disallowed
when the weight is in motion and/or not stable.
10) Print on CTS (Clear to Send, a RS-232 handshake line):
By toggling the CTS line from space to mark, the print string will be
transmitted. If the interval is set, the string will continue to print as long as
CTS is asserted.
In addition to the Control modes above, each of the 8 set points can independently
send a formatted print string. This is detailed in Section 6. These print strings are
usually used for warnings or annunciation of weighing events. As the 3750 “@”
commands can be buried in the set point strings, this capability greatly expands
the versatility of the Comm Ports.
