Introduction Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing a DINI ARGEO product. This manual illustrates in detail the configuration set up structure of the AF03 weighing program, specific for managing weighbridges. It especially describes all of the configuration parameters with the relative range of values which can be set and practical examples of programming, to help the technician while installing the indicator.
Programming menu The letter has the sole purpose of indexing Calibration the parameters to make it easier to find them First programming inside the manual, but it does not appear in the AF03 functions program. Generic functions Shortcuts Databases Input texts Serial ports Printout Ext.
