TRANSMIT DATA:
This will transmit the entire data collection through the RS232 communications port. Each collected
reading is transmitted along with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed (ASCII 10). All collected readings are
transmitted. Memory does not automatically clear after transmission.
VIEW RESULTS:
This screen will show some basic information about the data collected. These are the minimum reading,
the maximum reading, the total and average reading.
The Setup Screen, Configuring the Statistical Package.
This screen will allow you to specify if the statistical option is active or not, and also how much memory to set aside for data
collection. Any time you enter this configuration screen, the data collection in memory will be erased.
There are only two configurations on this screen:
ACTIVE:
Set to YES in order to enable data collection. If enabled, the top line of the main weight display will show an inverse
“Data:”, followed by the number of readings currently collected in memory.
SIZE:
The memory set aside for data collection uses the same memory and storage techniques as the memory used by the
scale’s operating system for storing tares, counting samples, print frames and other data. If you aren’t using the scale’s
memory for those other uses, you will have roughly 470 f
ree slots available for data collection, depending on the scale’s
configuration. Each slot will hold 8 readings, so at maximum, 470 x 8, or 3760 readings may be collected.
To configure the memory, enter the new size through the setup screen. Size is the number of readings (maximum) that you
would like to be able to store. This number will automatically be rounded up to the next multiplier of 8 (8 readings per slot).
The memory is then set aside for data collection, and becomes invisible to the rest of the system. This being the case, if you
configure a large memory area for data collection, you will be restricted as to the number of storage slots available for other
uses.
Adding a Reading to the Collection
Simply press the ENTER key at any time while you are in the main weight screen. The current reading will be saved and the
top line will show you how many readings have been collected. If the data collection memory is full, you will see a warning
message at this time.
Key lock option
General description:
This key lock option adds the capability of disabling the front panel by having all of the function keys locked out, until a valid
password is entered. Once a valid password is entered, the keys will remain unlocked until the scale is powered down and
powered up. By default the option is not active until an initial password is set.
To set password:
1. Press the menu button. Unlock keys by entering the current password, if necessary.
2.
Navigate to Options Setup and then scroll down to “Set Password”.
3.
“Enter new password “ will appear on the display. Enter the desired password (4 digits long)
4. Confirm the password by retyping the intended password. Confirmation is used to assure that a mistyped password is
not stored.
To unlock keys:
1. Press menu button.
2.
“Enter Password” will appear on the top line of the display. Enter the password previously set.
3.
The function keys will remain unlocked until the scale’s power is powered down and powered up.
To deactivate key lock option:
1. Follow the above procedure for setting the password.
2. Instead of entering a password simply press enter twice.
3. This will clear the password and deactivate the key lock option until the password is set again.
