The Verify Function; Status After Power Is Applied; The Rs-232 Interface Hardware - Setra Systems Super Count Operator's Manual

The Jump Function causes the scale to immediately operate in a given weight unit. Using this function
insures that numbers, such as tare weight or average piece weight, entered through the RS-232
interface are interpreted in the correct units. For example, if the average piece weight was stored by
a computer in grams, it would be necessary to ensure that the scale was operating in grams prior to
sending the APW to the scale. This feature is only available through the RS-232 interface.
To use the .Jump Function, send the following to the scale: nJ. Where "J" is the Jump function com-
mand and "n" is the unit code. The units code ranges from 0 to 6 as shown:
Units Code
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
Do not send any number other than 0-6. For example, to enter an average piece weight of 0.23456
grams from a computer, send "1J0.23456A". The "1J" sets the scale for operation in grams. The
"0.23456A" tells the scale to enter that weight into the APW register. The Jump Function prevents
misinterpretation of values entered from a computer.

The Verify Function

When many scales or other peripherals are connected to a computer, it is sometimes useful for the
computer to be able to check on the status of these devices. The verify function can be used to
determine the model number of a scale and determine that the scale is functioning correctly. To
invoke the verify function, transmit an ASCII "V". If the scale is functioning correctly, it will send one of
the following messages followed by carriage return and line feed:

Status After Power is Applied

All Setra scales have an internal nonvolatile memory for storing certain status information. This memory
does not erase when power is removed from the unit. All setup functions (such as print format, mini-
mum pieces, minimum accuracy, baud rate, and user conversion factors) are stored in this memory.
As a result, the baud rate and print format will not need to be reset each time the scale is turned on.
During the first 30 seconds of operation, the scale will run through a self-diagnostic procedure. When
the unit is ready to be used, it will identify itself by transmitting a "wake-up" message. (This message
can also be invoked by sending a "W" to the scale.)
