Rice Lake MSI-8000HD Remote Display - Manual (Page 18)

14 MSI-8000HD Operator’s Manual
3.6 2-Units/ 5-Units
The Fx-2.Unit key will switch the force units between pounds and kilograms.
Selecting the Fx-5.Unit setting will scroll through all available units: lb, kg, Tons (US
Short), Metric Tons, and kiloNewtons.
3.7 Hi-Res
Note
Only available with the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link (refer to the Dyna-Link manual
PN 152160)
Hi-Res Mode will make the MSI-8000HD more sensitive to motion and movement
resulting in a less stable display. When Hi-Res is on, the filter is automatically set to
the Hi-1 setting (if Hi-2 is already set, then the filter is not changed). This will have a
small effect on settling time. When Hi-Res is turned off, the filter setting resets to the
previous filter setting.
Pressing the Fx-HiRes key places the display into a temporary high resolution mode.
The high resolution mode continues until the Fx-HiRes key is pressed again, or power
is cycled. While in the Hi-Res mode the appropriate Fx LED will blink continuously
at a slow rate.
Note
Hi-Res mode does not increase the accuracy, but allows for smaller weight
incrementation to be displayed.
Use Tare or the ZERO key to zero out any initial error.
3.8 Print
Pressing the F3-Print key outputs a configured text string to the RS-232 port on the
base of the Dyna-Link.
If an F-Key is programmed as Print and the Print Setup is configured as continuous,
then the
F3-Print key is used for Start Print/Stop Print. See Section 5.6 for more
details on data output.
Note
The Print function is always available on the MSI-8000HD , so it is not
necessary to program an F1 or F2 to “Print”. Then pushing F1 or F2 on the
scale will cause the Comm Port on the Remote to output the selected data
string.
3.9 Scan
Pressing the Fx-Scan key displays RF connected channels in order.
