9.10.2 Legal for Trade and Totalization Mode
When in Legal for Trade mode (REGULAT = NTEP, OIML, or CANADA) and the unit is in Totalization mode:
• If the weight is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set for
WEIGHT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the piece count and piece count total are not
displayed.
• If the piece count is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set
for COUNT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not displayed. The piece
count total will be displayed in the left display area.
• If the piece count total is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter
being set for UNITWEIGHT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not
displayed. The piece count will be displayed in the left display area.
9.11 Updating Firmware
To update firmware of the Counterpart, you must have Revolution installed and a .hex file on your computer. Visit
www.ricelake.com to download this free configuration software and the latest .hex file.
Note
If the hex file is the same version as is currently in the indicator, the firmware update will not reset the
configuration. This is helpful if the firmware becomes corrupt and you want to reload the same firmware.
However, it is always recommended that configuration be backed up in Revolution to avoid any data loss.
1. Unplug power to the Counterpart and remove top from the base of the unit.
2. Wire the serial cable to the Counterpart’s Port 1. Refer to Table 9-7 for cable connection settings.
