RF DataLink
20
This setting is used by RF DataLink to determine how much of a particular ration can be
loaded into your feed mixer.
This setting must be set to Mixer Volume.
Feedings To Mixer
To set how the feedings are sent
to the mixer, from the main menu
select Systems, Defaults, and then
the Mixer Loading Tab.
This option allows the PC operator
to either send one load to the
mixer at a time, send the entire
feeding or feedings for the day to
the mixer and allow the PC to only
send the pens for that load, or
send the entire feeding or feedings
for the day to the mixer and have
the scale operator control what pens get the ration. This option is most useful if the ration is
most likely not to change over the coarse of the feeding period. Or the feed mixer is out of
range of the base radio for more than 2 loads.
When you select, [All Loads at one time. PC controls loads] or [All pens and Recipes at one
time to the mixer. Mixer controls the loads]. The “Distribute All Pens to All Mixers” option
will appear. This option is set to [No] if the mixers have zones assigned to them. It will only
send the correct zone to the correct mixer if the option is set to [NO].
Transfer Type
This option determines how the feed data will be sent to
either a stationary mixer/box or a standard mixer system.
When using the stationary mixer/box Datalink will send the
ingredient loading information to the stationary mixer/box
and the pen unloading information to the delivery
mixer/box. When a load is compete at the stationary
mixer/box, Datalink will send a message to the delivery
mixer/box of what stationary mixer/box to pick up the load.
When using a stationary mixer/box and delivery mixer/box
you also have an option to send what pens are in the load
to be displayed at the stationary mixer/box.
Full Load Delay
This option is used with a bunk reader program. If the bunk
reader program sends pens to Datalink when new pens are
