4.2 Programming Stores Data (Files REFDAT01 - REFDAT06) via a PC
All store names and extended information are contained in the index files REFDAT01 - REFDAT06. There is 1
file for each e.g. for 'Product', 'Customer' etc. New store information can be added in MS Excel, or via the
instrument keypad. Existing store information however, can only be edited in MS Excel, and not via the
instrument.
Here is an example file (REFDAT02.CSV for Customers - Store Reference 2) opened in MS Excel.

The information in the "Extended Reference" field of the .CSV file
appears inside quotes on the STOR screen. Using commas in the
extended reference field acts as a 'return' to position the next line on the
screen.
The instrument displays a maximum of 8 lines (20 characters per line)
of store information.
NOTE 1: If any comma delimited text string exceeds 20 characters, that text will
scroll across the screen page. Also, any extended information beyond 4
delimited text strings (e.g. as per the example above) will scroll across
line 8.
NOTE 2: Line 2 is for programming a target weight preset, to which the instrument will default for the next load. The
target weight should be entered in the 'truck' store reference, for each truck. For other store references this
column is left at zero, and line 2 on the STOR screen stays blank.
After completing the required entries, simply save the .CSV file back onto the data card.
