12 MSI-8000 Operator’s Manual
3.0 User Defined Function Keys
The following function descriptions are for optional user defined functions that are
programmed on the three front panel USER keys (F1,F2 & F3). To enable the USER key
functions, you must set up the USER keys following the procedures in Section 4.0. Note
that Function Key setup on the
MSI-8000
is independent of the Function Keys of the
connected Scale/Dyna-Link.
Note
In software release 1-XX, F3 is dedicated to the print function and cannot
be changed. The functions PRINT (F3) and TARE are available full-time on
the MSI-8000 so, although possible, you do not need to program a
Function key for those functions.
Off
No USER Key Function assigned. The F-Key is disabled.
Test
The
TEST
function provides an LCD test that lights all LCD segments and the LEDs, then
the model number (8000), the software version number, the battery level, and then a
display test counting from 00000 to 99999. Other internal tests are performed and if any
test fails an error code will display. See Section 6.2 for a description of all error codes. The
TEST
can be aborted anytime by pushing
ZERO
. The test can also be single stepped by
pushing
F2
and then using the
F1
key to step from display to display.
Total
Note
The Total Mode must be programmed from the Setup Menus before the
USER key will function. See Section 4.1. This feature should not be
confused with the ttl.rd (Total Remote Devices) function, which will add
weight from two or more load sensors.
For accumulation of multiple weighments, the accumulator uses the displayed tension, so
GROSS and NET readings can be added into the same TOTAL.
There are four modes of totalizing: Manual and three Auto Modes.
The Manual Mode requires the TOTAL button to be pressed with the tension on the scale.
The tension will be added to the previously accumulated value. This assures that a weight/
tension on the scale is only added to the total once. Both the manual and three auto total
modes require that the tension on the scale return below 0.5% (relative to full scale) of
GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before the next weighment can be added. Applied tension
must be >1% of capacity above GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before it can be totaled.
Manual Total
The
Fx-TOTAL
key under the MANUAL TOTAL mode functions in this manner:
Tension is > 1% of capacity and has not been totaled - Pushing the
Fx-TOTAL
key will add
the current tension to the TOTAL weight. The
Fx
LED blinks to indicate the tension value
was accepted. The TOTAL LCD annunciator and the Total weight is displayed for ~5
seconds and then the number of samples are displayed for ~2 seconds.
Current Tension has been Totaled - Pushing the
Fx-TOTAL
key functions as “View Total”
only and functions as View Total until the 1% threshold is exceeded to allow the next
addition to the total value.
