600 Scale Status/Diagnostics Information: non-calibration command
This command displays the status information pertaining to the currently selected scale.
This is a non-calibration command executed outside of calibration mode.
First select the scale for which status information is desired from, by using 1, 2 or 3
followed by [PRINT/SELECT].
This command has the following important information:
q
The primary purpose of this command is to show what type of scale was allocated to
the scale in question.
q
The user can scroll through all the corners and sections to obtain status information on
each corner using the [IN]/[OUT] keys. Please consult the table on
Scale Status
Information
for more details on how to interpret this status information.
q
The command allows us to look at each of the corner’s error timeout counters by
pressing the [TEST] key.
q
The command allows the user to look at each of the corner’s raw counts in real time by
pressing the [TEST] key.
After entering the command, use the [IN/OUT] keys to scroll through the allocation
information pertaining to the scale in question. If at any point the user wishes to look at the
error timeout counter or raw counts of a particular corner, just press the [TEST] key once.
Pressing the [TEST] key will toggle the display between the timeout display and the raw
counts display until the user presses the [CLEAR] key. The error counter should under
normal operating conditions stay at zero, if this number fluctuates heavily it is an
indication of a possible hardware problem.
To exit the error counter information, press [CLEAR] key once. To exit this command,
press the [CLEAR] key once more.
The user can scan through all corners/sections of the system to check the error status
field for each corner/cell of the DLC. A flashing “
E
” in the status screen for a
particular cell will indicate a fault condition related to the cell. The user can then
inspect the raw counts of the cell and do a physical inspection on the load cell in
question.
