Digi-Star Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator - Manual (Page 6)

Basics
Command!
Operation of the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator revolves around COMMAND! appearing on the display.
When COMMAND! is showing on the display you can select a command by pressing the correct key on the
keyboard (see the list of function keys). The display will acknowledge your selection. If the acknowledgment is
correct then press the enter key. From here on, the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator will prompt you as
indicated in the program flow sheet, until the display again reads COMMAND!
A?@
When A?@ shows on the display, please press either the NO key or the YES key.
A!@
A flashing A!@ on the display is either drawing your attention to a displayed message, or it is telling you that
your last keystroke was not valid.
Low Battery
When LOBAT shows on the display it indicates that the battery is running low and needs to be
recharged or replaced. Switch off the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator as soon as possible, as
Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator operation is not guaranteed when the low battery sign is up. If the battery
runs too low then the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator will lock itself up to avoid corrupting data.
Display Format
The Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator has a two line display. Normally, the first line displays prompts and
messages and the
second line shows a running weight reading. However, sometimes both lines are
needed to show information and the weight reading on the second line is temporarily displaced.
Switching on the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator
Program version
When you turn on the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator the Display will show a message giving the name of the
program and its version number.
Copyright
After a short pause the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator will display a copyright message.
Lines remaining
After a further pause, the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator will show the number of lines of memory still
unused.
Command!
The display will then show COMMAND!
There are three expectations to this normal start-up sequence.
1. The battery is low.
2. The data sets are stored in memory are no longer valid.
3. The last data set has not been finished.
Battery too low
If the battery sign is already up when the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator is first turned on you will not be
allowed to continue.
The display will show the message BATTERY TOO LOW TO START and the Stockweigh Datamaster
Indicator will lock itself. This is done to avoid corrupting the data sets stored in memory.
