APPENDIX A - SCALE TOTALIZER, Cont.
MOTION
(0 TO 9)
CURRENT=??
The value entered, in scale divisions, will be used in determining when the totalizer's motion
status will become true. The totalizer's motion status will be true if any of the totalized scales
is in motion or if the total gross weight changes by more than totalizer's motion range. This
completes totalizer setup.
Operation
When operating in STD mode, the totalizer will be identified by a
T
. The
TARE
key will not be
active when the display is showing the totalizer weight. If the
ZERO
key is pressed while
displaying the totalizer weight, all of the scales included in the totalizer will be zeroed. If the
ZERO
key is pressed while displaying a scale weight, only that scale will be zeroed. If pounds-
kilograms conversion is enabled, pressing the
UNITS
key, when displaying the totalizer or any
of the scales included in the totalizer, will switch the weight units of the totalizer and the weight
units of all the scales included in the totalizer.
Program Commands
The application program can use the standard scale commands and functions to access the
totalizer. The totalizer may be accessed by using the totalizer's scale number in the command
or function, or by using the CURSCALE command to make the totalizer the default scale. The
function CURSCALE will return the totalizer's scale number if the totalizer is the default scale.
The function CARDS(17) will return one if the totalizer is enabled, zero if it is not. The
SCALES function will return the total number of actual scales, not including the totalizer.
The GROSS, TARE, NET functions will return the totals of the gross, tare, and net weights,
respectively, for all of the scales included in the totalizer. The CZERO function will return a
nonzero value if and only if all of the scales included in the totalizer are at center of zero. The
MOTION function will return a nonzero value if any of the scales included in the totalizer is in
motion, or if the totalizer gross weight changes by more than the totalizer motion range. The
OVERCAP function will return a nonzero value if any of the scales included in the totalizer is
overcapacity, or if the totalizer gross weight is overcapacity. An error condition for the totalizer
or any of the scales included in the totalizer will also cause OVERCAP to return a nonzero
value. The BLOZERO function will return a nonzero value if the gross weight of any of the
scales included in the totalizer is below zero, or if the totalizer gross weight is below zero.
The CAPACITY function will return the capacity of the totalizer. The INTERVAL function will
return the scale division value for the totalizer. The totalizer and all of the scales included in
the totalizer must have the same scale division value. The WTMODE function will return 1 if
the totalizer displays weight in pounds only, 2 if the totalizer displays weight in kilograms only,
and 3 if the totalizer displays weight in pounds and kilograms. The totalizer and all of the
scales included in the totalizer must have the same weighing mode.
The CURUNIT function will return 0 if the totalizer is weighing in pounds, 1 if it is weighing in
kilograms. The UNIT$ function will return "LB" if the totalizer is weighing in pounds, "KG" if it is
weighing in kilograms.
The TARETYPE function will return 0 if no tare is stored, 1 if a tare was stored for at least one
of the scales included in the totalizer using the DOTARE command, and 2 if a tare was stored
for at least one of the scales included in the totalizer using the TARE command. All tare
weights stored for the scales included in the totalizer must be of the same type.
