Chapter 22 Multi-Scale Inputs and Capabilities (OPTION)
Technical Reference Manual
Five new pseudo-modes have been added to facilitate
selecting the current scale. Note that these commands do
not change the unit's mode, only the selected scale.
They are as follows:
40 <SELECT> This command steps to the next
enabled scale. If only one scale is
enabled, no change is made.
41, 42 and 43 <SELECT>
This command selects scale 1, 2, 3
respectively, if enabled. If not
enabled, "CodE54 Scl X disabled" is
displayed briefly. If scale board is not
installed or is damaged, the prompt
will read A/D BAD!.
The 574 has a front panel key for easy scale selection.
Each press of this key will toggle to the next enabled
scale. A specific scale can also be selected by keying in
the prefered scale number followed by pressing the
<SCALE SELECT> key.
22.13 MACROS (Selecting a scale)
The macro command "%#" has been added to support
the multi-scale inputs. There are three different ways to
use it.
"%#" by itself returns the current scale
number.
"n%#" will test if the current scale is equal to
"n", similar to the other macro IF -
THEN statements. "n" must be a
valid scale number, 1-3.
"cccccccc%#" will replace the last character of
"cccccccc" with the current scale
number. "cccccccc" may contain any
characters, however if the last
character is a 1 through 3, the IF -
THEN will be performed instead. For
example, if the current scale is 3,
"0,80%#%C" becomes "0,84%C",
which copies the current gross weight
of the selected scale to a Var, Var#1
for scale 1, Var#2 for scale 2, etc., or
in this case, Var#3 for scale 3.
Refer to chapter 16 for more details on the %#
command.
