380/381 Synergy Indicator Calibration The 380/381 can be calibrated using the front panel or EDP commands. The following sections describe the procedures required for these calibration methods. NOTE: CAL jumper must be removed to perform calibration. NOTE: The 380/381 requires a WZERO and WSPAN points to be calibrated. The linear calibration points are optional; they must fall between zero and span, but must not duplicate zero or span.
380/381 Synergy Indicator EDP Command Calibration Use the following instructions to calibrate the 380/381 using EDP commands. For information on the EDP commands of the 380/381, see Section 7.0 on page NOTE: The indicator must respond with OK after each step or the calibration procedure must be done again. For commands ending with #s, s is the scale number (1).
380/381 Synergy Indicator EDP Commands The 380/381 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer connected to one of the indicator communication ports. Control is provided by a set of commands which can simulate front panel key press functions, return and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions.

380/381 Synergy Indicator 10.4 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units The 380/381 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into another unit of measurement and display the result with the press of the Units key. Available units are pounds (lb), kilograms (kg), tonnes (t), grams (g), short ton (tn) and ounces (oz). Secondary units can be specified on the Format menu using the SECNDR parameter.
380/381 Synergy Indicator 10.6 ASCII Character Chart Use the decimal values for ASCII characters listed in Table 10-4 when specifying print format strings on the 380/381 PFORMT menu (Section 4.3.6 on page 37). The actual character printed depends on the character mapping used by the output device. The 380/381 can send or receive ASCII character values (decimal 0–255), but the indicator display is limited to numbers, uppercase, unaccented letters and a few special characters.
