Level 4 submenus

GRADS

10000
1–100000

Specifies the number of full scale graduations.

The value entered must be in the range 1–100000 and should be consistent with legal
requirements and environmental limits on system resolution.

To calculate GRADS, use the formula: GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions.

Display divisions are specified under the FORMAT submenu.

FORMAT

PRIMRY
SEC
TER

Select your primary, secondary, and tertiary units of measure. Sub-choices include lb, kg,
oz, and g.

ZTRKBND

0.000000
number

Automatically zeroes the scale when within the range specified, as long as the input is
within the ZRANGE and scale is at standstill. Specify the zero tracking band in ± display
divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.

Note

For scales using linear calibration, do not set the zero tracking band to a value
greater than that specified for the first linearization point.

ZRANGE

1.900000
number

Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.900000 default value is ±
1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at
standstill to zero the scale. Use the default value for legal-for-trade applications.

MOTBAND

1
number

Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If motion is not
detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights. Some operations, including
print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill. Maximum legal value varies
depending on local regulations.

If this parameter is set to 0 the standstill annunciator does not light; operations normally
requiring standstill (zero, tare, print) are performed regardless of scale motion. If 0 is
selected, ZTRKBND must also be set to 0.

OVRLOAD

FS+2%
FS+1D
FS+9D
FS

Overload. Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error
message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.

SSTIME

10
number

Specifies the length of time the scale must be out of motion, in 0.1-second intervals, before
the scale is considered to be at standstill. Values greater than 10 are not recommended.

DFLTR 1-3

1
2

Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from the
immediate area of the scale. The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the
values assigned to the three filter stages:

DFLTR1 + DFLTR2 + DFLTR3
See Section 9.6 on page 83 for information on digital filtering.

Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions per update that are averaged to obtain the
displayed reading. A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect
of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator.
