3.1.2 Serial Command Configuration
The serial command set can be used to configure the
820i
indicator using either a personal computer, terminal, or remote
keyboard. Like
Revolution
, serial command configuration sends commands to the indicator serial port; unlike
Revolution
, serial
commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.
Serial commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some functions not otherwise
available. Serial commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the indicator, or to dump lists of
for more information about using the serial command set.
3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration
Use the CONFIG submenu under the SCALES menu to configure A/D scales. For example, in an indicator with a single-
channel A/D card installed in Slot 1, the Scale Configuration display will show the A/D listed (
Slot 1 Channel 1
) under the
AVAILABLE A/D’s
column. Use the
left
navigation key to select the A/D, then press the center softkey,
Add
. The A/D is then
moved to the Associated A/D’s column. If no other A/D’s are listed in the
AVAILABLE A/D’s
column, the center softkey changes
to
Done
, as shown in
. Press
Done
to exit the Scale Configuration display.
See
for information about configuring serial scales.

3.1.4 Multi-Range and Multi-Interval Scales
The
820i
supports multi-range and multi-interval scales of either two or three ranges or intervals.
Multi-range scales
provide two or three ranges, each extending from zero to the maximum capacity specified for the range,
that can specify different scale intervals (graduations). The scale interval changes as the applied weight increases but does not
reset to lower range intervals until the scale returns to zero.
Multi-interval
scales divide the scale into two or three partial weighing ranges, each with different scale intervals. The scale
interval changes with both increasing and decreasing loads applied.
To configure a multi-range or multi-interval scale, use the SPLIT parameter to select 2RNG or 3RNG (for multi-range scales), or
2INTVL or 3INTVL (for multi-interval scales). Selecting a SPLIT value other than OFF allows specification of decimal point,
display divisions, and maximum capacity for each range or interval.
The SPLIT parameter is used to enable multi-range or multi-interval. The SPLIT parameter is in the SCALES menu, see
, and Table 3-2. After setting the SPLIT parameter, the
Format
menu selection will change as shown in
and Table 3-4.
If using streaming with multi-range or multi-interval, the stream must be set to Custom in
Revolution
. The Tokens for Secondary
and Tertiary Units must be set to L or K to match the Primary, refer to the Serial Menu, Tokens Parameter, in
. They
can be set using
Revolution
or through the front panel.
In multi-range, each range has its own capacity and display division, extending from zero. The scale display division will
increase at the entered range capacities, either two or three ranges. Once the range has increased to the next level, the display
division will remain in new range until the scale returns to zero. The tare value can be taken in any range.
For example,
Range 1 is 0 - 3000 x 1 lb.
Range 2 is 0 - 10,000 x 5 lb.
