The Model 4077 is a general-purpose instrument for input of
pressure,
force, torque, weight
, and other variables measured by conventional
strain gage transducers. It accepts a single input from
any conven-
tional 4-arm strain gage bridge, nominal 120 ohms or higher, with a
full-scale range of 1.5 or 3.00 mV/V
. Other bridge configurations are
possible with the optional Model 10CJB-2 Bridge Completion Card,
as explained in Appendix F.
A "tare" function is preprogrammed for the strain gage input, and may
be activated by a front-panel push button. Via front-panel buttons, you
can also display and reset MAXIMUM, MINIMUM, and "MAX minus
MIN" values for each "tared" analog input.
Unless otherwise specified at the time of order, your Model 4077 has
been set, prior to shipment, to a
standard configuration
. THIS
CONFIGURATION IS FULLY ADEQUATE FOR MOST APPLICA-
TIONS, AND LETS YOU CONTROL BASIC INSTRUMENT SETUP
AND OPERATION SOLELY BY MEANS OF THE SIX FRONT-PANEL
PUSH BUTTONS. A full listing of your 4077's standard configuration is
given in Appendix A.
Like all 4000 Series instruments, however, the 4077 can be rapidly and
easily reprogrammed in the field, to provide a variety of unique
application solutions. For such reprogramming you can use either
• an optional Model 10P80D Extended Keyboard that plugs directly
into the rear of the 4077 unit, or
• the optional StartPAC 100 Software (Model GS-SP100).* This
software applies to ALL Daytronic RS-485 networkable instru-
ments, and offers a number of valuable utilities for terminal
emulation, node configuration, network monitoring, data display
and logging, etc. IT IS SUPPLIED FREE OF CHARGE WITH ALL
4000 SERIES MODELS. For details on the installation and
operation of StartPAC 100, see the
StartPAC 100 Instruction
Manual

StartPAC 100 lets a connected computer serve as a "dumb" terminal
for entry of the specific MNEMONIC COMMANDS required to repro-
