• Digital outputs set in two consecutive batch setpoints
no longer toggle off and back on between setpoints.
•
The default values for DIGIN 1 and DIGIN 2 are
changed for Release 3.11. See page 4 for more
information.
Truck Modes
Accumulator Function for Truck Program
The accumulator now accumulates net values while in
truck mode.
Single-Transaction Tare Weights and IDs Supported in
Stored-ID Truck Modes
Release 3.11 supports temporary tare weights for
indicators configured to use stored IDs (TARE200 MODEs
3–6). This function allows one-time weighing of trucks
without adding the Truck ID and tare weight to the
indicator database.
To use this function, enter a Truck ID containing a decimal
point, then press NEW ID.
Tare weights and Truck IDs entered using decimal Truck
IDs are erased when the transaction is complete.
Print Formatting
NOTE: The P FORMT menu is changed to allow character
editing at the first level as shown in Figure 8 on page 7.
This procedure is used for all parameters that allow
editing of alphanumeric character strings.
Extended Print Format Commands for Printing Using
Display, Alternate, Primary, and Secondary Units
Release 3.11 allows specification of the units identifier
used to print the demand, truck, and push print tickets
listed in the Figure 7 (below). Units are specified by adding
a slash and the units identifier after the command.

A TECHNICAL PRODUCT PUBLICATION
Resetting ID, Consecutive Number, and Accumulator
Values for Print Commands
ID, consecutive number, and accumulator values can be
reset by specifying the value directly on the print format
string. The format for these commands is:
<ID=n>
<CN=n>
where n is the number that the ID, consecutive number,
or accumulator is reset to. The values are reset
immediately.
NOTE: The consecutive number is now updated only
once per print. In prior releases, the consecutive number
was incremented every time it was printed.
EDP Commands
The following EDP commands are new for release 3.11:
LOCKON/LOCKOFF Commands
The LOCKON/LOCKOFF EDP commands provide the
capability to lock and unlock the indicator front panel
keys. The LOCKON command locks the front panel in
operating mode only; all keys are functional in configuration
mode.
DON/DOFF Commands
The DON/DOFF commands allow individual digital outputs
to be set on or off. Once a digital output is set on, it
remains on until set off or until the indicator is powered off.
Command format is as follows:
DON#nn
where nn is the number of the digital output, 01–16, being
set on or off. The command DOFF#0 can be used to turn
off all digital outputs.
Batching Control Commands
Four new commands have been added to
allow batching control through the EDP port:
U
n
s t i
BATSTART
t o
d
s i
p
a l
e y
) d
If the BATRUN digital input is on, or if no
digital input is assigned to BATRUN, the
BATSTART command can be used to start
the batch program.
BATRESET
Resets the batch program to the first batch
step and stops the program.
BATPAUSE
Stops the batch program at the current step.
All batch digital outputs set on by the current
step are set off. The BATSTART command
can be used to restart the batch program at
the current step.
