Parameter Setup Mode
(Basic Setup)
3.1 Parameter Setup Mode
Recall that there are two parts to the 574 display. There
is a large six digit alpha-numeric display on the left side
of the system and ten small dot matrix displays in two
rows of five each to the right of the numerical display.
Both sides of the display will be used during parameter
setup procedures. To access the Setup Mode and make
changes, press:
1 0 0 <SELECT> 2 3 6 4 0 <ID> <ENTER>
The text convention used in this manual for keystrokes
means you should press the "1" key followed by the "0"
key followed by the "0" key followed by the key labeled
"SELECT" followed by the keys labled 2,3,6,4,0,
followed by the key labeled "ID" followed by the key
labeled "ENTER". The system will respond with the
display showing:
P101.__ __ Scl 1
Enbld
The 574 will use the large display to tell you that you are
entering the Setup Mode and will use the smaller display
to prompt you to enter the programming security code.
If you only want to review the setup, press:
1 0 0 <SELECT> <ENTER>
The system will now tell you that you can make no
modifications to the setup. If you want to make any
changes to the setup press:
2 3 6 4 0 <ID> <ENTER>
The system will briefly inform you that it will permit
you to make modifications to the setup and then display
the first of the available setup parameters. If you enter
the wrong code or do not press any keys within 5
seconds, you will be denied access to the Setup Mode.
The procedures which were just explained consist of a
Parameter number and a security code. The entire key
stroke sequence to modify a Parameter is:
1 0 0 <SELECT> 2 3 6 4 0 <ID> <ENTER>
Let's take a closer look at this sequence. The "100" in
this instance is Parameter 100 (more about Parameters in
a moment), and the "23640" is the security code. (This
coincidently happens to be the street address of GSE!) If
the security code is not
used, the Parameters can be
monitored, but not changed. If the security code is
included, then the Parameters can be modified. But,
what is a Parameter? Parameters are special dedicated
memory registers within the indicator. There are over
1,200 different Parameters which can be addressed and
modified by the user, and each one has a dedicated task
to remember. They are always identified by the letter
"P" preceding a 3 or 4 digit number, followed by a
decimal point, followed by 1 or 2 digits. An example of
a Parameter number is "P150.01" which is a Units Setup
Parameter, which remembers that the calibration units in
the 574 has been set to kilograms. If you wanted ounces
instead, set Parameter P150.02. How do you know
which number is which Parameter, and what does it do?
Thats what this manual is all about. It will provide you
with Setup Parameter lists, explain the function, tell you
how to change the Parameter, then explain the functional
operation of the indicator. The manual has been divided
into two basic types of discussion, one called Parameter
Setup which is discussing changes to the Setup
Parameters which customize your application, and
Weighing/Counting Operations which is a functional
description of how to operate the 574 once Setup
Parameters have been set. Parameter Setup is covered in
Chapter 4 and Weighing Operations is covered in
Chapter 5. Chapter 7 covers Counting Operations.
3.2 Basic Weighing Parameter Setup
P101.XX Scale 1
P102.XX Scale 2
P103.XX Scale 3
This parameter allows 1 thru 3 scales to be enabled.
Each of the three scale enablement parameters has three
selections:
P101.00 Scl 1 Disbl
SECTION - 3.2
NOTE:
While at any point of the Setup Mode, you can
press <ZERO> to return to the Weigh Mode. The
system will then prompt you through the exit.
