Model 574 Programmable Counting System (PCS)

required.
NOTE:
The selection made in parameter P208 does not affect the
transmission size.
15.7 Identification (ID) Operations
The six programmable ID parameters available in the
instrument may be included in a transmission. You will
first want to decide if you want the name of the ID sent
along with the data. If sent, the name will precede the
data of the ID. If a space is desired between the name and
the data then that should be programmed into the name
of the ID. However, it is often beneficial to name the ID
in an abbreviated form that will fit into the 5 character
display for the benefit of the operator who keys in the ID
during everyday use. If so, then the ID data can be sent
without its shortened name but with a more descriptive
name programmed into the Custom Transmit Setup as
Fixed Text. Your second decision determines the number
of characters transmitted for the ID data. This can be
either the number of characters keyed in as the ID data,
or the maximum data size programmed for that ID. Refer
to parameters P701, P703, P705, P707, P709 and P711
for programming the maximum size of an ID. All four
possible format choices are shown in Table 22. No
addition of choice values is required.
NOTE:
The selection made in parameter P208 does not affect the
transmission size.
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER FORMAT
SELECTIONS
The 574 has four general purpose registers (parameters#
91 - 94) that that can be used for the printing of
incrementing and decrementing values, such as box
numbering, or for Truck In/Out Weighing as the truck ID
(refer to Chapter 17 for more information on Truck In/
Out Weighing). The formatting choices are shown in
Table 23 and 24. The values in Table 24 allow for
incrementing or decrementing the transmitted number,
before or after it is transmitted. You do NOT have to
make a selection from Table 24. Add in the indicated
value for each of the following format selections based
upon your response to the following choices:Finally
choose a field width value from Table 19 and add it to
that determined from Tables 23 and 24. Remember that
Selection Example Description
8 "1235." Print decimal even if data has no fractional portion
16 "+1235" Print + sign for positive data
32 "1235" Do NOT print the parameter's units
64 "2720 lb" Print the data in default units (as opposed to current units)
128 "1235" Do NOT print the parameter's name

1 "0027.49" Fixed width, right justified, left zeroes filled
2 "27.49__" Fixed width, left justified, padded w/spaces on right
3 "27.49" Minimum width
