Installation Manual
5.3.1 Configuring Other Parameters
Once the scale source is set, you can continue
conÞguring the scale using the other icons listed under
the
System Parameters
, or you can use the Scale
Wizard (shown as a button on the Scales menu; also
available under the Tools menu) to create a basic
conÞguration based on your application type, units,
capacity, and Þltering requirements.
Other subsets of conÞguration parameters, including
stream, print, and display formatting, can be accessed
by selecting them from the list shown at the left side
of the
iRev
displays.
5.3.2 Setpoints
The Setpoints menu, available by clicking the
Setpoints icon under
System Parameters
, provides
access to all conÞguration parameters for up to 100
setpoints. ConÞgured setpoints can be displayed
individually or in groups of 5, 10, or 100; setpoint
parameters can be changed only when shown
individually. Click on the setpoint view icons in the
toolbar to change the view.
When the setpoint view is set to a value greater than
one, swap and move icons are added to the toolbar,
allowing single or multiple setpoints to be reordered
without renumbering (see Figure 5-3).

The Batching Wizard, available under the Tools menu
when viewing or changing setpoints, can be used to
set up a basic batch sequence, based on the batch type,
number of ingredients, and several batch options.
5.4 Configuring the Display
The
iRev
display editor allows the
920i
display to be
customized by dragging and dropping widgets onto a
virtual display, then setting parameters speciÞc to
each widget type. (See Section 9.2 on page 76 for
detailed information about widget programming.) Up
to ten display conÞgurations can be saved for each
indicator Þle. Display conÞgurations can be switched
within applications using custom programs to drive
the
920i
.

5.5 Connecting to the Indicator
Connect the PC serial port to port 2 of the
920i
. Return
to the Hardware ConÞguration display, then click on
the
Connect
icon in the toolbar.
iRev
will attempt to
establish communications to the indicator.
Once communications is established,
iRev
queries the
indicator conÞguration to determine whether the
indicator hardware matches the virtual hardware
conÞgured in the current
iRev
Þle. If the hardware
matches, the Hardware ConÞguration section of
iRev
is disabled, preventing further changes.
If the hardware does not match, you are given the
option of either canceling the connect operation or
overwriting the
iRev
hardware conÞguration with the
actual indicator hardware conÞguration.
5.5.1 Downloading to the Indicator
The
Download Configuration
function on the
iRev
Communications menu allows an
iRev
conÞguration
Þle (with or without scale calibration data), setpoint
data, widgets, database tables, or an
iRite
program Þle
to be downloaded to a connected indicator.
The
Download Current Display
function on the
Communications menu allows you to download only
the currently displayed object, such as the parameter
set for one scale of a multi-scale conÞguration.
Because less data is transferred using the
Download
Current Display
, it is typically faster than a full
conÞguration download, but there is an increased
possibility that the download may fail due to
dependencies on other objects. If the download fails,
try performing a complete download using the
Download Configuration
function
.
