521     Assign a Sectional Scale: calibration command

This command allocates the number of sections specified as the parameter to allocate a
sectional scale for the current scale under calibration (

a section consists of 2 corners –

each corner gets assigned to a cell on the DLC box

). For example, if a 4 sectional scale

is required, 4 will be entered at the keypad.

It is the task of the indicator to find the number of sections to assign for a sectional scale.
Sections will always be assigned incrementally starting from the first section on the
primary DLC slave 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 through to the secondary slave etc., as required. 

If the

user does not want a  section to be assigned (due to damage of the cell in question) the
user should first disable the cells using calibration command 525 before assigning the
scale

The following examples illustrate how to interpret the assignment information displayed
on the LED display while in calibration mode for a sectional scale. Use the [ON/OFF] key
to select the status display window. Taking the example of a sectional scale with 4 sections
– the status information provides the following allocation information. It displays how
many sections were assigned to this scale, and to which terminals each corner of each
section is assigned to. The status information is displayed as follows:

NOTE:

 

If the system could not find any allocation space on either the primary or secondary DLC, it

will return with an error message.  If this is a new system and this is the first scale assignment, it is
recommended to first perform a command 500 to clear all existing scale allocation information (all scale
information will be lost). If the allocation was unsuccessful and other scales do exist that need to stay
active, use Commands 501, 502 or 503 to clear only the current scale allocation information. Keep in
mind that the M2000D indicator has 3 scales.

The sectional 

scale assigned consists of a total of 4 sections

. This parameter indicates

the number of sections assigned to the sectional scale.

The section scale starts on the 

P

rimary DLC  box and might expand to the secondary DLC.
