5 General System Parameters
Two of the VT200/220 setup menus provide access to general system parameters,
which affect how the scale operates:
The PAR menu contains parameters including the number of display digits, the
position of the decimal point, the A/D gain and the zero range (see chapter 5.1).
The SETUP 1 submenu, inside the SETUP menu, contains parameters including
the date format, totalizer enabling and auto power off (see chapter 5.2).
If you have two scales connected to the indicator, each scale has its own set of
parameters. All the parameters in the menus relate to the currently active
scale. To change parameters for scale 2, for instance, switch to scale 2 by
pressing SCALE ( ), and then access the menu and change the required
parameters.
Other setup menus allow you to calibrate the scale (CAL menu; see chapter 4); set
communication parameters (SETUP 2 and SETUP 3; see chapter 6); and input/output
parameters (SETUP 4, SETUP 5 and ACAL; see chapter 7).
