EDP Command Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using EDP commands, the
indicator EDP port must be connected to a terminal or
personal computer. See Section 2.3.2 on page 6 for
EDP port pin assignments; see Section 5.0 on page 40
for more information about using EDP commands.
Once the indicator is connected to the sending device,
do the following:
1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display
reads ) and remove all weight from
CONFIG
the scale platform. If your test weights require
hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on
the scale for zero calibration.
2. Send the WZERO EDP command to calibrate
zero. The indicator displays
calibration is in progress.
3. Place test weights on the scale and use the
WVAL command to enter the test weight
value in the following format:
WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>
4. Send the WSPAN EDP command to calibrate
span. The indicator displays
calibration is in progress.

7. The optional rezero function is used to
remove a calibration offset when hooks or
chains are used to hang the test weights.

test weights during calibration, remove
the test weights and press
the CALIBR menu.

calibration, remove these and the test
weights from the scale. With all weight

the adjusted A/D count for the zero
calibration is displayed. Press
save the value, then press

WLIN.C1 command calibrates the point.

6. To remove an offset value, clear all weight

to hang test weights, then send the REZERO
