10.7 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units

The IQ plus 710 has the capability to mathematically
convert a weight into many different types of units and
instantly display those results with a press of the
key.
UNITS
Secondary units can be speciÞed on the FORMAT
menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP
commands.
¥ To conÞgure secondary units using the front
panel menus, use the Table 10-6 to Þnd the
c o nv e r s i o n m u l t i p l i e r f o r t h e M U LT
parameter. For example, if the primary unit is
pounds and the secondary unit is short tons,
set the MULT parameter to 0.000500.
¥ To conÞgure secondary units using EDP
commands, use the Table 10-6 to Þnd the
conversion multiplier for the SEC.MULT
command. For example, if the primary unit is
pounds and the secondary unit is short tons,
s e n d t h e E D P c o m m a n d S E C . M U LT =
0.0005<CR> to set the multiplier for the
secondary units.
Ensure that the secondary decimal point
NOTE:
position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in
the secondary units. If the converted value requires
more digits than are available, the indicator will
display an overßow message (
For example, if the primary units are short tons,
secondary units are pounds, and the secondary
decimal point is set to 8888.888, the indicator will
overßow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale.
With 5 tons applied, and a conversion factor of 2000,
the secondary units display needs Þve digits to the left
of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb secondary
units value.
