5 General System Parameters
Two of the VT400 setup menus provide access to general system parameters, which
affect how the scale operates:
The
PAR
menu contains parameters including the number of display digits, the
position of the decimal point, the A/D gain and the zero range (see section 5.1).
The
SETUP 1
submenu, inside the
SETUP
menu, allows you to enable and disable
the totalizer, and lock or unlock keys.
Other setup menus allow you to calibrate the scale (
CAL
menu; see chapter 4); set
communication parameters (
SETUP 2
and
SETUP 3
; see chapter 6); and input/output
parameters (
SETUP 4
,
SETUP 5
and
A-CAL
; see chapter 7).
