Rice Lake MSI-8000HD Remote Display - Manual (Page 29)

1) Program a function key to “ttl.rd”
(Total Remote Devices).
In this
example we’ll use F2 for “ttl.rd”.
2) The current channel is displayed.
Press F2 ttl.rd to change the
display to the summed total.
3) The display briefly displays
“AddAll”. Then summed total
weight is displayed.
4) Subsequent presses of the
F2 ttl.rd key will show all enabled
sum types.

5.5 Behavior Of Zero And Tare In Multiple Channel Systems
Whatever channel that is displayed is considered the “Focus Channel.” Pressing the
ZERO or TARE keys will only affect the displayed channel. When displaying summed
channels, zero and TARE commands will be sent to all devices that contribute to the
displayed weight. For example, if in the “BOTH” mode, and you are displaying Pair 1
(the sum of SC0 and SC1), pressing
ZERO will zero only SC0 and SC1. If displaying
the grand total using the ALL mode, then pressing ZERO will zero all connected
sensors.
Using the TARE function: If one device is tared in the individual display mode, the
summed weight will be the sum of a Net weight and a Gross weight. If the TARE key
is pressed when displaying any of the summed modes, all devices that add to form the
current display are Tared and placed in Net mode.
5.6 Printer Set Up
The RS-232 Comm Port is capable of outputting load data. All the weight modes the
RF linked weight device can measure are available in user formatted form. The
control Mode programs are what cause the MSI-8000HD to print.
The modes are:
1. Assigned F-Key is pressed, one transmission of the selected string type is
output.
2. On Load - When the load on the link is stable, one transmission will output.
Then the load must return to zero to enable another print output.
3. Continuous - Program the interval in seconds up to 65,535 seconds. Setting the
interval to 0 will set an interval as fast as the system can go. To disable printing
set the control mode to “OFF.”
The Comm Port settings are independent of any print settings in connected scales.
They reside only in the MSI-8000HD.
