ACAL (Analog Output)
Par. Description Values
A.1 Standard / custom zero and span.
0 specifies that the scale should output 0 mA at zero input and
20mA at maximum input (or 0V at zero and 10V at max).
1 opens a dialog, after A.8, that allows you to enter custom
zero and span values. Press PRINT to confirm; the display
shows 0 XX.XXX. Enter the D/A output at zero, in voltage or
mA, and press PRINT. The display shows F XX.XXXX. Enter the
D/A output at maximum input, in voltage or mA, and press
PRINT.
0 = Standard (20 mA max)
1 = User defined Zero and
Span
A.2 Normal or absolute AOUT mode. Specifies what happens
when the displayed weight is negative: analog output is either
zero (normal mode) or the absolute value of the negative
reading (absolute mode). For example, if the display shows -
100.00, and absolute mode is set, AOUT=10mA. In normal
mode, AOUT=0mA, regardless of the negative reading.
0= Normal
1 = Absolute
A.3 Error output level. Specifies whether scale errors should be
indicated as a low or high signal.
0 = Low (0 mA)
1 = High (24 mA)
A.4 Current / voltage. This parameter must correspond to the
hardware jumper, which defines whether output should be in
current or voltage (see section 7.4.1).
0 = Current
1 = Voltage
A.5 Net / gross. Specifies whether the indicator should always
output gross weight, or output net weight when tare is active.
0 = Net weight
1 = Gross weight
A.6 Effective range for current output. Sets the range to 0-
20mA or 4-20mA. Relevant only if A.4 and the hardware
jumper are set to current.
0 = 0-20 mA
1 = 4-20 mA
A.7 Resolution. Specifies whether output should be in high
resolution if the display is showing high resolution.
0 = Display
1 = Internal
A.8 Operation. Enables and disables the analog output. 0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
