Model 574 Programmable Counting System (PCS)
192 - GSE Scale Systems
since Jan 1, 1970. This should be useful in uploading
time / date information to a computer for use in a
spreadsheet application.
18.2 Time and Date Parameter Setup
P500.SS Time
This parameter displays the current time setting
displayed in a military-style 24 hour format. The dot
matrix portion of the display shows Time HH:MM while
the seconds are shown to the right of the decimal in the
numeric display. A new time may be entered by keying
in the desired entry as HH.MM.SS with the seconds
optional. Note that the hour and minutes entries must be
separated by a decimal point. For example, if you enter
8.9.45, the time will be set to 08:09:45; if you enter
15.02, the time will be set to 15:02:00.
P501.YR Date
This parameter displays the current date setting. If P510
is set to USA, the dot matrix display will show Date MO/
DA; if P510 is set to International, the dot matrix will
show Date DA/MO. The year is shown in the rightmost
digits of the numeric display. Depending on whether the
USA or International date display is used, a new date
may be entered by keying in the correct digits in the
format MO.DA.YR or DA.MO.YR followed by the
<ENTER> key. Note that the months, day and year
entries must be separated by a decimal point. For
example, if you enter 5.1.92, the date will be set to
05/01/92.
P502.XX TmDat
This parameter determines whether the time and date will
be displayed upon power-up: P502.00 sets Time-Date to
no; P502.01 sets Time-Date to yes. Having Time and
Date appear upon power-up for systems not having the
optional clock installed can be a very beneficial way of
prompting the operator to key in the time and date.
NOTE:
The optional battery-backed Time-Date function must be
installed for the correct time and date to appear upon
power-up.
P503.XX AM/PM
This parameter determines whether time will be
displayed in a 12 hour or 24 hour format. The selection
here does not change the display method for the setup
modes and the time must always be entered into P500 or
upon power-up using the 24 hour format.Three alarms
have been built into the instrument to perform various
operations through the execution of a Macro. Parameters
P504 through P509 are used to set up the alarms.
P504.XX A1Sel
This parameter sets the operating conditions for the first
alarm. The available choices are: off, intvl, and daily. Off
is the default selection which means the alarm is not
used. Interval means that the alarm will be executed on
an interval basis, such as every 5 seconds, every 17
seconds, or every 2 hrs and 20 minutes. The start of the
interval is at midnight of each day. If the desired interval
does not divide evenly into a 24 hour period, the second
alarm after midnight will be closer to the previous alarm
than is normal. The daily selection actuates the alarm at a
certain time of the day, every day. This feature may be
useful for performing certain operations once a day,
perhaps at shift change, such as clearing totals or
counters. If Alarm 1 is used it will automatically invoke
Macro 12.
P505.SS A1Tim
This parameter specifies the interval or the time of day
for Alarm 1. This is entered as h.m or h.m.s for hours,
minutes and seconds. For example: 0.0.10 for a 10
second interval, 0.3 for a 3 minute interval, or 8.0.0 for
an 8:00 am alarm. Enter the desired value and press
<ENTER>.
P506.XX A2Sel
This parameter specifies the use of Alarm 2, with the
same choices as P504. If Alarm 2 is used it will
automatically invoke Macro 13.
P507.SS A2Tim
This parameter specifies the time for Alarm 2, which is
set in a similar fashion as P505. Enter the desired value
and press <ENTER>.
P508.XX A3Sel
This parameter specifies the use of Alarm 3, with the
same choices as P504. If Alarm 3 is used it will
automatically invoke Macro 14.
P509.SS A3Tim
This parameter specifies the time for Alarm 3, and is set
in a similar fashion as P505. Enter the desired value and
press <ENTER>.
