Parameter 21. Deadload Factor
The deadload factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function. This
parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.
Parameter 22. Weight Conversion Factor
The weight conversion factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function.
This parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.
Serial I/O Ports
The IDS440 is equipped with two bi-directional serial communication ports that can
communicate to an optional printer, a computer, bar code reader, a score board or other
serial communication devices. The baud rate and format can be set independently for
each port. Serial port 1 is normally used to output weight data and ID reports to a
printer. Serial port 2 is normally used for continuous output of weight data. Continuous
transmission can be enabled or disabled and the output format can be customized using
Parameters 27 and 28.
Communication between serial devices requires that both devices have the same baud
rate (transmission speed), data bit length, and parity. The mode parameter selects the
data bit length and parity the baud parameter selects the baud rate.
Parameter 23 Serial Port 1 Mode (4 [8 data bits, no parity])
Enter the mode number from the table below to select the mode parameter in the mode
description column.
Mode Number Mode Description
1 7 data bits, no parity
2 7 data bits, even parity
3 7 data bits, odd parity
4 8 data bits, no parity
5 8 data bits, even parity
6 8 data bits, odd parity
