MSI MSI-8000, Operator'S Manual

Page: 19 / 44

User Defined Function Keys 15
Hi-Res
Only available with the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link (refer to the Dyna-Link manual PN 152160)
Pressing the
Fx-HiRes
key puts the display into a temporary high resolution mode. The
high resolution mode continues until the
Fx-HiRes
key is pressed again, or power is
cycled. While in the Hi-Res mode the appropriate
Fx
LED will blink continuously at a
slow rate.
Hi-Res mode does not increase the accuracy, but allows for smaller weight incrementation
to be displayed. Use Tare or the
ZERO
key to zero out any initial error.
Hi-Res Mode will make the
MSI-8000
more sensitive to motion and movement resulting
in a less stable display. When Hi-Res is on, the filter is automatically set to the Hi-1 setting
(if Hi-2 is already set, then the filter is not changed). This will have a small effect on
settling time. When Hi-Res is turned off, the filter setting resets to the previous filter
setting.
Print
Pressing the
F3-Print
key outputs a configured text string to the RS-232 port on the base of
the Dyna-Link. If an F-Key is programmed as Print and the Print Setup is configured as
continuous, then the
F3-Print
key is used for Start Print/Stop Print. See Section 5.6 for
more details on data output. The Print function is always available on the
MSI-8000
, so it
is not necessary to program an
F1
or
F2
to “Print” then pushing F1 or F2 on the scale will
cause the Comm Port on the Remote to output the selected data string.
Scan
Pressing the
Fx-Scan
key displays RF connected channels in order.
Total Remote Devices
Pressing the
Fx-ttL.rd
key displays the summed weight of RF connected sensors. Sensor
summing must be enabled in the COMM Setup Menu. If the “Pairs” or “Both” modes are
enabled in the COMM Setup menu, then pressing the
Fx-ttL.rd
key will scroll through the
available combinations.
It is a common setup to program
F1
for SCAN and
F2
for “ttl.rd” (Total Remote Devices)
to allow quick switching between individual channel displays (with  ) or the summed
weight (with “ttL.rd”).
Tare
The
Fx-Tare
key is redundant in the
MSI-8000
since it has a permanent
TARE
key. This
was done for consistency across the ScaleCore based product line. There is no need to
program a function key to “TARE.”
