Rice Lake 920i USB Installation Manual V5.05 - Manual (Page 29)

Configuration 23
3.0 Configuration
To configure the 920i USB indicator, the indicator must
be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed
by removing the large fillister head screw on the
backplate of the universal and deep enclosures. Switch
position is changed by inserting a screwdriver into the
access hole and pressing the switch. When the indicator is placed in setup mode, a series of
menus is shown across the top of the display, along
with the words
Scale Configuration . The SCALES menu
is highlighted as the first used to configure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
provided in Section 3.2.
When configuration is complete, press the Save and Exit
softkey to exit setup mode, then replace the setup
switch access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The 920i USB indicator can be configured by using the
front panel keys to navigate through a series of
configuration menus or by sending commands or
configuration data to an indicator serial port. If there is
no serial port on port 2, refer to Section 6.0 on page 63.
Configuration using the menus is described in
Section 3.1.3.
C o n f i g u r a t i o n u s i n g t h e s e r i a l p o r t c a n b e
accomplished using either the serial command set
described in Section 10.0 or the iRev 4 configuration
utility.
NOTE: Some configuration parameters, such as those
used to configure the 920i USB display and widgets,
cannot be accessed through the configuration menus.
iRev 4 provides the most complete and efficient
configuration interface for the 920i USB.
3.1.1 iRev Configuration
The iRev 4 configuration utility provides the preferred
method for configuring the 920i indicator. iRev 4 runs
on a personal computer to set configuration parameters
for the indicator. When iRev 4 configuration is
complete, configuration data is downloaded to the
indicator.
iRev 4 supports both uploading and downloading of
indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator,
edited, then downloaded to another indicator with an
identical hardware configuration.
Important
Note
If using iQUBE 1, use iRev 3. If using iQUBE
2
or
no iQUBE, use iRev 4.
You cannot use iRev 3 to edit a file
created in iRev 4. iRev must be newer or
the same version as the file being opened.
Figure 3-1. iRev Hardware Configuration Display
To use iRev 4, do the following:
1. Install iRev 4 on an IBM-compatible personal
computer. See Section 5.0 on page 60 for
detailed hardware and software requirements.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins
on the indicator serial port.
Note
If there is no serial port on port 2, refer to
Section 6.0 on page 63.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the
setup switch to place the indicator in setup
mode.
4. Start the iRev 4 program.
iRev 4 provides online help for each of its configuration
displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual
for front panel configuration can also be used when
configuring the indicator using iRev 4: The interface is
different, but the parameters set are the same.
See Section 5.0 on page 60 for more information about
using iRev 4 to configure the 920i.
