Diagnostic Mode Functions:
1. Calibrate Scale: This may be required in the field if the scale CPU is replaced.
2. Init. to Defaults: This may be required in the field when replacing the scale CPU board.
3. Display Corner: This function displays the individual corner weights for each load cell assembly and can
be used to isolate a defective load cell.
4. Exit Diagnostics: Changes made in the diagnostic mode (with the exception of Calibrate Scale) must be
saved in permanent memory using this function. Switching off power without saving will reset all variables
