Parameters
28.1 Model Type
160.XX Model 574
This parameter shows the model type (M574). This
parameter is fixed for this model and can’t be modified.
28.2 Memory Information Parameters
The Model 574 has a series of parameters that are used
for informational and diagnostic purposes. They may be
reached from any mode by entering their number and
pressing <SELECT>. There is no prompt for the access
code. Once in the Information Mode, you may move
about as you would in the Setup Mode: press
<SELECT> to move to the next parameter, or press <.>
<SELECT> to back up one parameter.
There are three types of memory used by the instrument:
EPROM which contains the program, EEPROM (E
2
)
which holds the chosen selections of all setup parameters
and stored rows of data, and RAM which is used during
operation for temporary data storage. The following
parameters provide some information about E2 and
RAM memory space. Refer to Chapter 19 for
information on memory storage.
P60000. E2Ins
This parameter shows the installed amount of EEPROM
(E2) memory space. This may help determine how
much information can be stored in the instrument when
setting up the Custom Transmit and other parameters.
P60001. E2Avl
This parameter shows how much E2 memory space is
available for use. If a setup mode entry or selection
requires more storage space than is presently available
(as indicated by this parameter), the instrument will
display a message indicating that condition. You can
then refer to P60000 and P60001 to determine how much
storage space is installed and available.
P60002. RAMsz
This parameter shows the amount of RAM installed in
the unit. Standard RAM memory on all instruments is
8K (8192 bytes).
P60003.RAMdy
This parameter shows the amount of dynamically
allocateable RAM. This is primarily a diagnostic tool to
be used by a factory technician in the case of an out of
memory error message on the unit.
P60004. RAMav
This parameter shows the amount of available RAM.
P60005. #Rows
This parameter displays the number of rows of data
which can be stored in memory based upon the current
setup. This is important in the use of the Truck In/Out
Weighing feature.
P60010 dbRAM 24256
The value shown here, 24256 in this example, indicates
how much database memory is currently installed within
the unit. The value will be 0 if the database memory
module is not installed, 24256 if the 24K module is
installed, and if the 120K module is installed, the value
is 122,560. In this case, the top line of the display shows
"dbRA1" while the bottom line shows "22560".
However, if some of the database memory has been
allocated to general usage (normally to allow larger
macros) then the amount shown at P60010 will be
reduced by 8192 (8K). Refer to parameter P65010 for
more information on this item.
P60011 dbAvl 24242:
This value indicates the remaining amount of RAM
available for creating more database rows. When this
value becomes relatively small, then the database is
coming close to running out of room for more records.
When this parameter is selected, it may take a while for
the instrument to add up all of the unused memory.
While the Indicator is calculating, the display will show
"Look-ing.."
P60012 dbUse 14
This parameter indicates the amount of database memory
actually used by the databases, for both recording the
setup and storing records. When this value is added to
the "dbAvl" value, the result should equal the value for
P60010. While the instrument is calculating, the display
will show "Look-ing.."
