and future reference.
P64000. Send
This parameter can be used to transmit all the current
setup parameter selections out one of the ports. To send
this transmission, press <ENTER> while this parameter
is displayed. The prompt "1" for Comm is displayed
briefly, followed by "2" for Prntr. Press the <1> key to
send the data out the Comm Port; press the <2> key to
send the data out through the Print Port; press any other
key to cancel the download.
P64001 Send All (Download Mode)
This is an additional download mode which appends the
necessary commands to save the current value of all the
weigh mode parameters which are normally saved within
the unit. If an application requires a certain value to be
stored in a Var or a Reg, then these values can be saved
in the download file by using this selection. The choices
are to send all, by selecting 1 for serial communications
and 2 for the printer.
P64100. LnCnt
This parameter simplifies the debugging of a setup file
upload. It displays the number of carriage return codes
that have been received, acting as a line counter during
the upload process. This counter is cleared to 0 every
time the access code prompt "Setup Keyin" Code is
displayed. Viewing this parameter lets you verify the
total number of lines that have been processed during an
upload.
P64101. ErCnt
This parameter shows the total number of transmission
errors which have occurred to the unit. This counter is
cleared to 0 every time the access code prompt Setup,
Keyin Code is displayed. This would normally be used
only during an upload in order to determine how many, if
any, errors occurred during the upload.
P64102. 1stEr
This parameter indicates the first transmission error
which occurred to the indicator since this parameter was
last cleared. As with the above parameters, this
parameter is cleared to 0 every time the access code
prompt Setup, Keyin Code is displayed. If an error has
occurred, the display will cycle through four messages
indicating the line number, parameter number, and the
error message which were present when the error
occurred. For example, the messages 1st Er Ocr'd ... Line
= 1 ... Parm = 112 ... Entry Error will be each displayed
for one second, continuously. This can be very helpful in
determining the cause of any problems after an upload.
Pressing <CLR> from any of these three previous modes
(P64100 - P64102) will clear all three of these values.
P64103. Debug
This selection which when enabled will transmit the
warning messages described above for P64102 through
the specified port as soon as the error occurs. This can
be especially useful during the upload of a setup file. If
no errors occur, there will be no transmission out of the
unit.
NOTE:
All of the above parameters are functional regardless of
whether or not an actual parameter file upload to the unit
is in progress. The error counter will also increment if an
error is made while making entries through the front
panel.
P64200 Macro Debug
This feature records steps and branches that are taken
during macro execution. If the expected results are not
achieved during the execution of a macro, this
information mode may be accessed to determine exactly
which branches were taken. This is often very helpful
during initial macro debug of complex macro perations.
The printing of the Macro Debug (P64200) history buffer
on a 574 is performed with the <PRINT/ENTER> key.
To print the Macro Debug history on the 550, press the
<ENTER> key.
28.9 Utility Parameters
P65000. Copy A to B
This feature can be used to copy the current setup
information during the installation of additional storage
memory.
This parameter can also be used to copy the setup
information of one E
2
setup to another E
2
for use in a
second indicator of identical program use. Note that the
firmware date codes should be identical in both units.
