Chapter 4. Display

Introduction

The Display (Disp) Menu is used to set up
the parameters that govern the display
functions when vessel monitoring. This
chapter covers the functions in the Disp
Menu. Explanations of each of the functions
are provided. Additionally, detailed navigation
procedures through the menu tree are
provided for a few of the functions to help the
user become familiar with the use of the
keyboard functions described in
Chapter 3, Menu Tree, Keyboard Functions,
and Quick Start.

Unless otherwise noted, the display function
for each channel (such as units, ID, etc.) can
be set differently. The descriptions below for
each function note those that are global in
nature and that affect the display for all
channels.

As shown in Figure 4-1, the Disp Menu has
twelve submenus.

Avg

This menu is used to set the number of
individual readings (from 1 to 255) the
Weigh II averages for each display reading
while vessel monitoring. The Weigh II calcu-
lates a running average. The larger the
number of individual readings in the running
average, the smaller effect a variation in
signal will have on the average. This results in
fewer variations on the display reading and an
easier to read display. Avg affects the value
seen on the display as well as setpoints,
current outputs, and serial outputs. The
default value for Avg is 1.

The number shown upon entry into this menu
is the channel’s current averaging factor. This
number can be modified by using the Up and
Down Arrow Keys or by direct entry with the
Alphanumeric Keys. When the desired
number is shown, pressing the Enter Key
saves the new value.
