STA MODE
In this mode, the seven setpoints indicate the status of various functions of the 4200,
e.g. motion, overload, etc. There are therefore no values to change. Listed below
are the functions of each setpoint in this mode. In this mode, normal setpoints
cannot be used--all setpoints are used to indicate the scale status.
Setpoint
Function
Status (0 = inactive, 1 = active)
0
Center of 0
0 = Out of center-of-zero
1 = Within center-of-zero
1
Motion
0 = Stable
1 = In motion
2
Gross/Net
0 = Net mode
1 = Gross mode
3
Autoprint
0 = Not printed yet
1 = Done printing
4
Threshold
0 = Below threshold
1 = Above threshold
5
Overload
0 = Not in overload
1 = In overload
6
Not Used
LABEL BUFFER
The print buffer can be used when one of the supplied print formats does not include the
specific information or format needed. It can also be used when multiple formats are
needed, such as when a label printer is used.
Up to 9 different buffers can be specified, with the total buffer size of 240 bytes being
divided evenly between the number of buffers specified. Each buffer is stored in the
nonvolatile EEPROM memory to eliminate the possibility of accidental erasure or loss of
data.
Also, the buffer format is entered via the duplex port using the commands outlined in
Section 8. This means that the indicator must be properly set up for bi-directional serial
communications using the proper cabling. A computer or terminal must then be used to
send the proper commands to the indicator to set up the buffer(s).
