8.2 XR 2000 Utility Programs
The XR 2000 has several auxiliary functions that may be activated via the
CONFIG dipswitches on the controller board.
PROGRAM 1: NORMAL MODE
NO SPECIAL PROGRAM IS SELECTED.
PROGRAM 2: FREEZE WEIGHT
FOR USE WITH CATTLE AUCTIONS, ETC.
This application assumes a legal-
for-trade indicator is used to send
the weigh ticket. Please review
local Weights and Measures
requirements
• This program is useful for cattle auctions and other applications where
a weight value must be displayed regardless of what is happening on
the scale.
• A weigh ticket (using ASCII characters) must be created on the scale
indicator that sends the scale weight and a <CR> character to the XR
2000 display with a button press.
Example: 123456 lb g<CR>
• When the XR 2000 receives this information, it displays the weight and
keeps displaying it until another weigh ticket is received.
PROGRAM 3: RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE.
PROGRAM 4: COMMAND MODE
All XR displays can be setup to receive commands directly from the scale
system or PC. Supported commands include transmitting weights, basic
alphanumeric messaging, stoplight relay control, and additional display
functions.
Command mode disables Auto-Learn and fixes communications at 9600-N-
8-1. The XR 2000 looks only for specific commands sent by the indicator or
scale controller.
