    3.3.5 PTICKET AND ETICKET FORMAT MENU Two separate menus allow specification of the format of weight tickets—PTICKET for tickets sent to the printer port, and ETICKET for tickets transmitted via the EDP port. The line end characters to be sent are specified using the TERMIN parameters in each menu. The ticket format parameters in the table following determine the format of up to four fields of data printed on a weight ticket.

    3.4 FUNCTIONAL TEST AND CONFIGURATION RESET A special TEST menu allows you to perform a functional test of the Display, Keyboard, EDP port and the two digital Inputs. Figure 19 describes the function performed by each key. A configuration reset function is also a part of the test menu. The TEST menu can only be accessed when the Operate/Setup Switch is in the SETUP position.

  • Page 28: Fine-Tuning (Tweaking) Span And Re-Zero

    RE-ZERO is designed to remove the weight offset of a chain or hook from the IQ plus 310A zero band. To perform the RE-ZERO, clear the platform of all weight, including the chains or hooks used. While the indicator is prompting RE-ZERO, press TARE (Enter).

    5.2 IN/OUT TARE MODE Once acquired with the TARE key, a tare value remains in memory for subsequent weighings until the TARE key is pressed again which erases the existing tare. A new tare can then be entered with the TARE key only when the scale is in the G mode.

    The IQ plus 310A responds with the value of the parameter if the command is an inquiry. The IQ plus 310A responds with “??” If the command string is invalid, or if trying to change a setup value while in OPERATE mode.

    6.4 SERIAL PORT OPERATION AND DATA FORMATS 6.4.1 SERIAL PORT OPERATION NOTES. 1. Serial input/output contention The IQplus 310A operates its serial ports in a preemptive receive mode. If the serial port starts receiving a command, any output in process to either the EDP port or the printer port is terminated immediately to avoid losing input data.

    7.2 DIGITAL FILTERING 7.2.1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The IQ plus 310A uses an averaging digital filter to reduce the effect of vibration on weight readings. Adjustable threshold and sensitivity functions allow quick settling by temporarily cutting out averaging so the reading immediately jumps to the new value being received.
  • Page 40: A/D Calibration

    7.3 A/D CALIBRATION This procedure is required following replacement of the A/D Converter (ADC) or the EEPROM. When the ADC and/or EEPROM are replaced, performing this procedure may be necessary in order for the ADC to operate. Implementing this procedure assures that the ADC will operate within its stability specifications. This procedure requires specialized test equipment and cables, and should be performed only by qualified personnel.
