DELETING OR EDITING A RECORD
While scrolling through records in memory, the displayed record may be deleted or
edited. The various entry points to the Delete/Edit menu can be accessed by pressing the
following keys:
DELETE DELETE THIS RECORD ?
0 to 9 EDIT ID ?
WEIGH EDIT WEIGHT ?
CODE / MULTIPLE EDIT CONDITION CODE / COUNT ?
EXIT ?
Use the key to step between the different options in the menu.
Press ENTER when the required option is displayed.
Use the EDIT options with care, as the change to the record is permanent. An
appropriate use is to correct a mis-entered ID, for example when a duplicate ID is
detected in a later weighing and the later ID is correct.
If the DELETE THIS RECORD option is selected, press DELETE within 2 seconds to
confirm.
If the EDIT WEIGHT option is selected, it is possible to change the sign of the weight by
pressing the key. This feature is not applicable to normal livestock weighing.
For a normal record, the option to EDIT CONDITION CODE will appear. For a multiple
animal weighing record, EDIT COUNT allows a change to the number of animals.
UPLOADING RECORDS TO A COMPUTER
Iconix offers the optional WinFX Linker Package that includes a connecting cable and
software. WinFX runs under Windows 95 or later versions of Windows.
The FX41 indicator is connected via the cable to the RS232 serial port of an IBM
compatible computer. All records in memory are uploaded to the PC for viewing, sorting,
printing or passing to another application, such as a spreadsheet, for further analysis.
The FX41 is factory set to a baud rate of 19200 for the speedy transfer of records to the
computer. If there is a particular need to change this setting, go into SET-UP and select
from the range 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400. This setting only changes the
RS232 communications port on the 9 pin connector on the back of the FX41. Other
devices attached to the 25 pin “OPTIONAL I/O” connector are unaffected.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
FX41 Program Versions 1.xx
Before connecting the FX41 to a PC, you must disconnect an Iconix FX Printer or an
Allflex EID reader from the 25 pin “Optional I/O” connector. Later model FX41s running
program versions 2.01 or later do not have this restriction.
Use of the 25 pin “Optional I/O” Connector
This connector is reserved for the use with the Iconix FX Printer, the Iconix AutoDrafter
and Allflex EID readers. DO NOT ATTACH ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT, as damage is
likely due to the power supply voltages brought out on to this connector.
