Texmate Tiger 320 Series Manual

A powerful, intelligent, 6-digit Programmable Meter Controller (PMC)
with modular outputs, input signal conditioning and advanced software
features for monitoring, measurement, control and communication applications.

General Features

• The Tiger 320 Operating System supports an easy to use
PC based Configuration Utility Program (which can be down-
loaded FREE from the Texmate website) and programming
from front panel buttons.
• The T Version supports custom macro programs that can be
easily produced with the Tiger 320 Macro Development System
(available FREE on the Texmate website). The Development
System enables programs to be written in BASIC, which
can utilize any combination of the hundreds of functions
and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320
Operating System.
• Red, green, or superbright red 7-segment, 0.56" high LEDs
with full support for seven segment alphanumeric text.
• Brightness control of LED display from front panel buttons.
• Modular construction with more than 120 interchangeable
input signal conditioners and more than 25 interchangeable
I/O modules.
• Up to 4 input channels with cross channel math for multi-chan-
nel processing.
• For applications where sensor excitation is required, mod-
ules are provided with 5V, 10V or 24 V DC voltage outputs.
• On demand tare, calibration and compensation can be initi-
ated by the front panel program button.
• Autozero maintenance for super stable zero reading is pro-
vided for use in weighing applications.
• Programmable input averaging and smart digital filtering for
quick response to input signal changes.
• Display text editing. Customize display text for OEM applications.
• Scrolling display text messaging on T meters with macros.
• Auto-sensing high voltage or optional low voltage AC / DC
power supply.
• Serial output options include RS-232, RS-485, ModBus,
