Cardinal 777 - SCALE TOTALIZER Status and Functions; Scale Status Information

39
APPENDIX A - SCALE TOTALIZER, Cont.
The SCLSTAT function will return information about the scale's status. The information is
encoded in the bits of the return value and can be determined by AND'ing the return value with
the appropriate mask value:
SCLSTAT AND 2 = 1 = One or more of the scales included in the totalizer had some sort of
failure or the total weight could not be calculated because the scales were incompatible.
SCLSTAT AND 8 = 1 = Analog failure of one or more of the scales included in the totalizer.
SCLSTAT AND 32 = 1 = This scale is included in the totalizer.
SCLSTAT AND 64 = 1 = This scale is the totalizer.
The CURUNIT command can be used to set the weight units for totalizer and its associated
scales if pounds-kilograms conversion is enabled. The totalizer and all of its associated scales
will be set to the same units when the command is executed.
The DOZERO command can be used to individually zero any of the scales associated with the
totalizer. If the totalizer is specified as the target of the command, all of the scales included in
the totalizer will be zeroed.
The DOTARE command can be used to individually tare any of the scales associated with the
totalizer. If the totalizer is specified as the target of the command, it is as if the command were
repeated once for each scale included in the totalizer. If a keypad tare has already been
stored for one or more of the scales included in the totalizer, the DOTARE command can only
be used to clear the tare (that is, the gross weight is 0). It cannot store a new tare since that
could result in more than one type of tare being stored.
The TARE command can be used to individually tare any of the scales associated with the
totalizer. The command cannot be used with the totalizer. If a pushbutton tare has already
been stored for one or more of the scales included in the totalizer, the TARE command can
only be used to clear the tare (that is, set the tare to 0). It cannot store a new tare since that
could result in more than one type of tare being stored.
