5 General System Parameters
Two of the VT400 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 section 5.1).
The SETUP 1 submenu, inside the SETUP menu, allows you to enable and disable
the totalizer, and lock or unlock keys.
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 A-CAL; see chapter 7).
