Digi-Star Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator - Manual (Page 7)

Memory invalid
The Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator is capable of retaining the data sets in its memory for at least seven
days. When first turned on the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator checks its memory to see if the data sets
stored there are still valid. If the data sets in memory are not good (which means it must be more than seven
days since the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator was last turned on) the display will show MEMORY
INVALID...(MEMORY HAS BEEN ERASED).
You must press enter and go on.
Any data sets that were stored in memory have now been lost and are unavailable.
Note: You are not guaranteed a full week=s memory retention. If you turn on the Stockweigh Datamaster
Indicator for five minutes at any time, the memory is recharged and good for another week.
Last data set unfinished
The Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator always checks to see if the last data set was properly completed before
the Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator was turned off. If the last data set was not completed then the display will
show LAST DATA SET UNFINISHED!
COLLECT MORE DATA?
If you wish to continue adding lines to the data set then press YES. The Stockweigh Datamaster Indicator will
jump directly to the data collection mode. If you wish to chose the data set then press NO. This situation will
usually arise when you are collecting data and a battery lead is accidentally disconnected.
Step by Step Procedure for setting up the
Stockweigh Datamaster
Step 1
Locate site where weighing is to be carried out
.
Step 2
Unpack the weighing system and set up as explained in the instruction manual for that product. Note: the
cables from the weighing system should run out the side of the platform where you intend to work.
Step 3
Connect weighing bars to the back of the Stockweigh Datamaster. Connect power to the Stockweigh
Datamaster via a 12 volt DC battery or a 120 VAC/12VDC transformer with a minimum output of 1 amp.
Step 4
On the back of the Stockweigh Datamaster, make sure the weighing mode is set to preferred setting i.e..
CATTLE (large increments), GENERAL (auto resolution). Also, select your preferred weighing mode - AUTO %
or AUTO/WINDOW if weighing livestock or MANUAL/MANUAL if weighing static produce. Now turn the
Stockweigh Datamaster ON. NOTE; IF THE INDICATOR IS SET UP FOR 14,000 LBS SWITCHES ARE
DISABLED.

screen. This command signal now tells you that the Stockweigh Datamaster is now ready to set up a data file.

To set up the data file press F1 on the keyboard. The Stockweigh Datamaster will respond with COLLECT
DATA - now press Enter. It will now tell you the number of lines left - this is the amount of memory in the
Stockweigh Datamaster. Press Enter again.
