32 590 AG Indicator Operators Manual
5.1.5 Normal Mode Commands
The serial transmit weight data commands (see Table 5-9) transmit data to the EDP port on demand. The transmit
weight data commands are valid only in normal operating mode.
5.2 Saving and Transferring Data
Connecting a personal computer to the 590 AG Indicator EDP port allows you to save indicator configuration data
to the PC or to download configuration data from the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe the
procedures for these save and transfer operations.
5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a
communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS
®
. See Section 2.3.3 for information about serial
communications wiring and EDP port pin assignments.
When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL
menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC.
To save all configuration data, place the indicator in setup mode and send the DUMPALL EDP command to the
indicator. The
590 AG Indicator responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted
text.
5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful when a
number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.
To download configuration data, connect the PC to the EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the indicator
in setup mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to the indicator. When
transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0.
• Calibration settings are included in the configuration data downloaded to the indicator. If the receiving indicator is a
direct replacement for another 590 AG Indicator and the attached scale is not changed, recalibration is not required.
• When downloading configurations that include changed serial communications settings, edit the data file to place the
serial communications changes at the end of the file. Communication between the PC and indicator will be lost once
the indicator receives settings for baud rate (BAUD parameter) or data bits and parity (BITS parameter) that do not
match those configured for the PC.
