Industrial Data Systems IDS Scale Basic - Manual (Page 41)

Scale Basic 4.2E Reference
Remarks: the Suspend instruction stops a Scale Basic function from executing, thus allowing
the Event Monitor to scan for events. The Resume function reactivates the function that
suspended, at the instruction following the Suspend instruction.
Example: Timer1 is set for 4 second delay, then it activates the Resume function.
Timer on, 1 Turn on timer 1
Suspend Suspend until Resume executed
Relay off, 6 Turn off relay 6
Set gross 131
Purpose: to set the display to the Gross mode.
Remarks: this function is equivalent to the instruction Display Gross
Set net 132
Purpose: to set the display to Net mode.
Remarks: this function is equivalent to the instruction Display Net
Tare 129
Purpose: put the gross weight into the tare register. Change to Net display mode.
Remarks: Condition code Positive is true if successful. The scale must be stable (no motion) and
above zero for the Tare function to succeed.
Tx data 144
Purpose: transmit formatted data (see parameter 28) out communications port 2.
Remarks: configuration parameter 28 (see operation parameters) selects a format (AND,
Condec, etc.) for transmission via communications port 2. If configuration parameter 27 is
set to 0, then the format selected by parameter 28 is continuously transmitted. Do not use
function Tx data if parameter 28 is set to 0.
Units 127
Purpose: toggle display mode between primary weight units and alternate weight units.
Remarks: this is the default function for the Units key.
Update 137
Purpose: update weight registers, update display, and scan for events.
Remarks: Scale Basic functions should execute quickly and terminate to allow the event
scanner to process all events that occur. If you write a function that does not terminate
quickly, or depends on scale status to continue, use the Update function if you need updated
weight data or if a critical event might be pending.
Example: a function waits for stable weight (motion = false) before issuing a print command.
