CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION
3.1 CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the indicator
to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu, which configures the serial communication port
and enables some user options. The Setup and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with
its own sub-menu of choices.
To set up the indicator, you must first enter the appropriate menu mode. Once there, four of the front panel keys
become directional navigators to move around in the menus, and one key is used to save or SET the
selections.
