Model 574 Programmable Counting System (PCS)
202 - GSE Scale Systems
DATABASE: A collection of records.
A DATABASE is defined by the parameters whose data
will be stored within it. Each parameter to be stored
becomes a column of the database. When rows of data
are created using the "Make row" command, copies of
the current data of those parameters are stored together in
the DATABASE.
Once a row exists, that entire row of data may be recalled
by first specifying which column of data is to be
searched. If no column is specified then the first column
is the default search column. Then the specific data
which is to be located is specified. This is done by
making an entry at the "Recall Row" command or by
storing the search value into the search parameter and
pressing < ENTER > at the "Recall Row" command
without an entry. If a row is found whose data in the
search column exactly matches the specified data, then
all of the data within that row is copied into the
parameters associated with that column.
20.4 Operation (enable or disable
database)
The DATABASE feature has been integrated into the
unit in such a manner as to be easy to use without the
need to program macros for simple applications and to
permit easy use of macros for more complex operations.
To accomplish this goal, the ID USE setup mode, P720,
will now include four menu selections. The choices for
P720 are:
P720.00 Std.
P720.00 Truck
P720.00 Menu
P720.00 Dbase
20.5 Database Setup
The setup mode for macros is accessable only if the
DATABASE module and EPROM are installed in the
unit. This is required since the DATABASE setups are
stored within the DATABASE module itself. (Keeping
all DATABASE setup and stored data in the same
module improves servicability since a DATABASE
module can be easily moved from one unit to another if
replacement of a unit were to become necessary.) Also
parameter P720 must be set to "dbase" or "menu". Once
these requirements have been met the DATABASE setup
modes become accessable.
Up to sixteen separate DATABASES may be setup for
use within the unit. Each database has its own setup
mode. Refer to the following list of DATABASE setup
parameters.
P731 is used to define database 1.
P732 is used to define database 2.
P733 is used to define database 3.
P734 is used to define database 4.
P735 is used to define database 5.
P736 is used to define database 6.
P737 is used to define database 7.
P738 is used to define database 8.
P739 is used to define database 9.
P740 is used to define database 10.
P741 is used to define database 11.
P742 is used to define database 12.
P743 is used to define database 13.
P744 is used to define database 14.
P745 is used to define database 15.
P746 is used to define database 16.
The desired DATABASE setup mode is selected by
keying its parameter number followed by the
<SELECT> key, such as "731 <SELECT>" to setup
DATABASE 1. In order to allow any changes to be
made, the access code, <23640> <ID> <ENTER> must
be entered at the "Keyin Code" prompt.
If you are using the 550/574 simulator software, press
<ALT> <D> from the main screen to allow for enabling
a 24K or 120K Dbase. Enter a 0, 1 or 2 for no, 24K or
120K Dbase. Refer to the chapter on 574 Simulation
