COUNTING WITH APW VALUES IN EXPONENTIAL NOTATION
The scale is able to accept an unlimited number of significant digits through the keyboard and serial
port for APW values when the APW values are stored using exponential notation. For example,
.0000567891 can be stored as 5.67891E-5. Using APW values in exponential notation is recommended
when counting small parts in pounds (lbs).
RECALLING APW VALUES IN EXPONENTIAL NOTATION
There is an alternate command sequence for displaying the APW with increased resolution. The
standard command sequence for displaying the APW is to press the display key then the apw key.
This recalls and displays the APW as six digits (.0000012345 will be displayed as .000001). To dis-
play the APW in exponential notation, the command sequence is setup/cal, display, apw. The scale
will display the APW as two alternating messages: the mantissa and the exponent (.0000012345 will
be displayed as 1.2345 followed by E - 05). These two messages will continue to display alternately
until another command is received.
NOTE: The command sequence for displaying the APW in exponential notation is only valid when
entered through the scale’s keyboard.
STORING A NEW I.D. & APW/TARE IN THE SCALE DATABASE
The Super Count can store up to 256 different, ten character part numbers and their associated
average piece weight (APW) and tare values in memory which may be retrieved simply by entering
the ID. This data can be transmitted to a printer or computer.
Once an ID number is entered the scale will automatically search its memory for a matching ID
number. If a match is found, the APW and tare values will be retrieved and the scale will enter the
counting mode. If no match is found, the scale will accept the entry as a new ID.
To perform the following procedure the database must be enabled and the APW and tare values must
be left unprotected. (To enable the system refer to Appendix II, DATABASE SETUP.) (See PROTECT-
ING THE APW/TARE VALUES to select a specific ID protection.)
To store a new ID and its associated APW and tare values follow the steps below:
1. Press the reset; key to zero the scale and clear the ID, APW and tare registers.
2. Create a valid APW and tare, either by entering the values through the keyboard, with a bar
code scanner or by performing the tare and sampling procedures.
3. Enter the ID; up to ten characters.
4. Press the id key, then the setup/cal key and finally the apw key.
5. The scale will quickly display “StOrEd” and return to the previous weighing or counting mode.
The APW and tare values are now stored and may be retrieved when the ID number is re-
entered. If “StOrEd” is not displayed, make sure the database is enabled.
If the scale displays “UnAbLE” the ID protection is set to “LOC AL”. The ID protection setup should be
changed to “LOCOLD” or “NO LOC” to store a new ID in memory.
