Model 574 Programmable Counting System (PCS)
160 - GSE Scale Systems
from 0 - 12 for thirteen language selections.
If sending transmissions to a printer, make sure the
printer will accept the international characters.
Selection of a different character set might be useful in
areas where multi-lingual labels have to be printed.
Note that this change in language selection is temporary.
On power-up the language selection will always be
specified at parameter P411.
n%M Test if mode == n
This IF type macro command allows for the macro
execution to vary depending on the current mode of the
instrument. For example, this command could be used in
a macro which performs auto-accumulations or
de-accumulations. The macro could be invoked every
time the weight exceeded some threshold. Then the
mode would be checked by the macro. If the mode were
"GRT+C" or "GRT-C" then a positive or negative
accumulation could be done. If the current mode was
any other mode, nothing would happen. Refer to the
in-depth explanation of the IF statement operations.
Example:
4%M test if current mode is mode 4
(GRT+C)
.%I perform accumulate command.
91%s Select register #1
%z increment box counter.
4%s
%N otherwise
5%M test if current mode is mode 5 (GRT-C)
.%I perform accumulate command.
91%s Select register #1
%i decrement box counter
4%s
%N else (otherwise)
The else command is used after an IF command. It
defines where macro execution will resume if the test in
the IF statement proved FALSE. Refer to the in-depth
explanation of the IF statement operations.
n%O Test if setpoint n Activated
This IF command may be used to cause macro execution
to vary depending on the state of one of the setpoints.
Replace the 'n' with the number of the setpoint to be
tested. One valuable use of the setpoint test is to check
whether one variable is less than or greater than another
value, or whether it is between two values. Refer to the
in-depth explanation of the IF statement operations.
Example:
12%O Test if setpoint 12 is active...
-OK!-%P Display "OK" message for one second.
%N ELSE
OutOfSpec!%W Display "OutOf Spec!" warning until a
key is pressed.
%E End of IF statement.
%P Pause macro for 1 second, performing weight
conversion process
The PAUSE command puts macro execution on hold for
one second. This can be used for brief prompts or for
delays required in setpoint operations. The length of
delay has been made programmable as of EPROMS
dated 9201XX through the use of an additional
command, "x%@". The "x%@" command must be
preceded by a numeric value between 0.05 and
5,000,000. This is 1/20 of a second and over 57 days.
All "%P" commands which occur after the "x%@"
command will delay the specified amount of time, until
either another "x%@" command redefines the delay time
or the instrument is powered down or re-initialized.
While the delay is elapsing the weight conversion
process is occurring.
If a prompt precedes the %P command then that prompt
is displayed on the 10 character dot matrix display while
the delay is elapsing.
Example:
7%@ Preset delay time to be 7 seconds.
Wait-ing..%P Display message while delaying 7
seconds.
n%Q Mode independent, send nth custom transmit
This command allows any one of the 4 custom transmits
to be sent at any point in time, regardless of the current
mode. The port and motion delay status is still as
specified for the that custom transmit in setup mode
P210 - P240.
Example:
1%Q Send 1st custom transmit.
2%Q Send 2nd custom transmit.
3%Q Send 3rd custom transmit.
