CUSTOM DISPLAY SETUP
The 9850 weight display is fully customizable. Both the single channel and multi-channel displays can be custom-
ized. All available data types plus custom text can be located anywhere on the screen in any of three font sizes: 1)
Large Font – Used primarily for weight displays, the large font offers up to 8 characters in two rows. When used
as a weight display the 9850 automatically fits in mode (Net, Gross, Tare), motion, COZ, and units in smaller
characters. 2) Medium Font – Used for all data types, the medium font offers up to 16 characters in 4 rows. 3)
Small Font – Used for all data types, the small font offers up to 20 characters in 8 rows.
Planning Your Custom Display
Decide what type of data you wish to see and what is the most important data. This important data could be dis-
played in the large or medium fonts, and other less important data should be displayed in the small font. Use the
text mode to label function keys with custom titles to aid in the operation of your system.
For example, use text to label line 7 “F3 Customer” and place ID String 1 next to it. Then use text to label line 8 “F4 Operator” and place ID String 2 next to it.
Program the F keys to match. Now you have an easy way to enter your required data.
If your system has multiple channels, make sure you provide both a single channel and multiple channel display
setup. In multi-channel displays, it is usually best to supply the same data for each individual channel display
similar to avoid confusion. However, if one channel is primary, it is easy to distinguish it by making it larger than
other channels. In any multi-channel screen, you can display from 2 to 8 channels, assuming that the CellScale
Scan List includes at least 8 channels. CellScales with more than eight channels use the page mode to observe
all channels. Select a preset display that is closest to your needs, then edit it. If no preset display is close, use the
“CLR Screen” command to start from a completely empty display.
A space is reserved for the enter number field, which can be overwritten with other types of data.
