CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURATION
6.1
CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu which configures the indicator to
your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu which configures the serial communication port and
enables some user options. The Setup and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with its own
sub-menu of choices.
To set up the indicator, you must first enter the appropriate menu mode. Once there, four of the front panel keys
become directional navigators to move around in the menus, and one key is used to save or SET the selections.
