5 General System Parameters
Several submenus in the
SYSTEM
menu provide access to general system
parameters, which affect how the scale operates:
The
SYSTEM
>
1/2CAL
>
PAR
menu contains parameters including the number of
display digits, the position of the decimal point, the A/D gain and the zero range
(see section
5.2).
The
SYSTEM
>
SET
>
OPER
menu contains parameters that effect user
operations. For example, if allows you to enable and disable the totalizer and alibi
memory storage; specify LCD brightness; specify auto power-off time delay, etc.
(see section
5.3).
The
SYSTEM
>
PRP
menu contains one parameter,
S.EMPTY
. This parameter
defines the maximum weight, in kilograms, that will be considered as “empty” by
the indicator.
If you have two scales connected to the indicator, parameters you define in the
latter two menus (OPER and PRP) apply to both of them. Parameters you define
in
SYSTEM
>
1CAL
>
PAR
refer to scale 1 only, and parameters defined in
SYSTEM
>
2CAL
>
PAR
refer to scale 2 only.
Other menus allow you to calibrate the scale (see chapter
4); set communication
parameters (see chapter
6); and set input/output parameters (see chapter
7).

4. If the parameter is in the
