Operating Parameters
7-30 Chapter 7
Any leading blanks not followed by a decimal will be stripped if the number is too big to be displayed.
If the data ends in P then the value of that parameter will be inserted. To get the characters to display then
enclose any strings ending with P, q, or p in quotes. For example,
91.11P=0.0P%o
displays a snapshot of the gross weight of the current scale, right justified, while
91.11P="0.0P"%
displays " 0.0P" right justified. (The quote marks do not display or take any character positions!)
ASSIGNING ‘LIVE’ PARAMETERS TO THE NUMERIC DISPLAY
To allow displaying live operating parameters in the auto update area at the same time as user supplied
data is shown in the dot matrix area of the display, a weigh mode parameter (0P - 98P) can be displayed on
the auto update portion of the display.
If a number is padded with too many spaces to fit on the display, then any spaces not followed by a decimal
point will be stripped.
In order to cause a weigh mode parameter to be continuously updated on the numeric portion of the display,
the instance specified for 90P must be '12'. For example,
91.12P="0.0P"%o
The quotes are required, otherwise you will get only a static snapshot of the parameter. The following are
equivalent:
91.12P=0.0P%o
91.11P=0.0P%o
Note the missing quotes! It is also important to realize that adding quotes has different effect
for instances 11 & 12 of parameter 91.
USING P91 WITH SETPOINTS
Parameter 91 is selectable for setpoints. Either P5114, P5115, P5134 or P5135 must all be numeric or
P5150 must be numeric for this to work. In these cases the P91 numeric string is converted to a pure
numeric value. However pure characters or numeric entries with a space between the sign and the number
will be treated as a zero (0). In the case where P5150 is a string and P5114, P5115, P5134, or P5135 are
also strings then a string comparison is done and string sorting rules apply.

92)
Parameter 92 is used to return the string data from either the 2x5 character portion or the numeric portion of
the display. This data is placed in the entry buffer.
92.0P%o place 2x5 character data in entry buffer
92.10P%o place numeric data in entry buffer
This parameter not directly accessible from the keypad, nor is it usable in input interpreters, or at P300 →
309. Data can only be retrieved to the entry buffer.
