Serial Command Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using serial commands, the
indicator serial port must be connected to a terminal or
personal computer. See Section 2.3.3 on page 10 for
serial port pin assignments; see Section 9.0 on
page 86
for more information about using serial
commands.

Once the indicator is connected to the sending device,
do the following:

1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display

reads

CONFIG

) and remove all weight from the

scale platform. If your test weights require
hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on
the scale for zero calibration.

2. Send the SC.WZERO#n serial command

(where n is the number of the scale) to
calibrate zero.

3. Place test weights on the scale and use the

SC.WVAL command to enter the test weight
value in the following format:

SC.WVAL#n=vvvvv<CR>

4. Send the SC.WSPAN#n serial command to

calibrate span.

5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated

between the zero and span calibration values.
Use the following commands to set and
calibrate a single linearization point:

SC.WLIN#n.V1=vvvvv<CR>
SC.WLIN#n.C1<CR>

The SC.WLIN#n.V1 command sets the test
weight value (vvvvv) for linearization point 1.
The SC.WLIN#n.C1 command calibrates the
point. Repeat using the SC.WLIN#n.Vx and
SC.WLIN#n.Cx commands as required for
additional linearization points.

6. To remove an offset value, clear all weight

from the scale, including hooks or chains used
t o h a n g t e s t w e i g h t s , t h e n s e n d t h e
SC.REZERO#n serial command.

7. Send the KSAVEEXIT serial command to

save the calibration changes and exit setup
mode.

iRev Calibration

The

iRev 4

Calibration Wizard provides step-by-step

scale calibration. With the

920i

connected to the PC,

select the Calibration Wizard from the Tools menu on
the

iRev 4

Scales display, then follow the steps listed

below to calibrate the scale. See Section 5.0 on
page 56 for
a general overview of the

iRev 4

utility.

1. On the first Calibration Wizard display (see

F i g u r e 4 - 3 ) , s e l e c t w h e t h e r y o u a r e

calibration or a multi-point linear calibration.

2. Next (see Figure 4-4), select the scale you

wish to calibrate.

3. Enter the test weight used to calibrate the

scale (see Figure 4-5). If chains or hooks are
used to hold the weights, check the box below
the test weight value entry. This adds a rezero
step to the calibration sequence.
