O ption 3 T imeout Length

O ption 3 is used to set the timeout length. The timeout length is the maximum amount of time expected between data streams before communication is considered interrupted. The default (0/O ff) acts as a 5 second timeout, all other values represent the number of seconds the display will wait for a new data stream. The display will then do one of three things after the timeout depending on how O ption 5 is set. The maximum timeout allowed to be set is 255 seconds. W hile in setup for the time out option LE F T decrements the value and R IG H T increments.

O ption 4 D isplay on D emand

O ption 4 sets the display for O n Demand mode. It is recommended to be turned on when connected to the print button of an indicator or when data is only sent once every 2 or more seconds. W hile in O n Demand mode the display will wait for and display every data stream. W hile in the default (off) the display uses every other data stream to ensure data integrity.

O ption 5 N o D ata

O ption 5 sets the display to do one of three things after a data stream time out. The default is to display " N oData" . The other two options are " C lear" (blank the display) and " Hold" (keep the last weight sent). The time out length can be specified with O ption 3. R IG H T toggles between the three choices, " N oData" , " C lear" , and " Hold" .

O ption Details continued

O ption 6 F ix ed D ecimal P oint

O ption 6 will set the display to illuminate a decimal point when it is not present in the data stream. Default (off) will show a decimal point only where it is located in the data stream. A ll other values represent the digit to attach a decimal point to, starting from right to left.

V alue D ecimal P lacement0 Default1 ######2 #####.#3 ####.##4 ###.###5 ##.####6 #.#####

O ption 7 N o C ount D ow n

O ption 7 will disable the display from counting down from 9 to 0 when powered up.

O ption 8 N o Zero Suppression

O ption 8 will disable the display’ s ability to suppress leading " 0" s with spaces. The default (off) will display a space for all leading " 0" s up to the final two in the 1s and 10s column or up to a " 0" immediately in front of a decimal point. For example when the option is off the stream " 000000" will become " 00" and the stream " 0000.00" will become " 0.00" .

O ption 9 D isplay A lpha C haracters

O ption 9 will enable the unit to display both alpha and numeric characters. The default (off) will replace all non-numerics with spaces. A 7 segment display is limited by the alpha characters it can display. For example it can not display characters such as " x" , " q" , " k" , " !" or " ?" .

O ption 10 M irror

O ption 10 enables a display to be read in a rear view mirror. The default (off) is for direct viewing.

O ption 11 A ddressable

O ption 11 will set the display to be addressable. The display will ignore any characters until the addressable character is received, then display the data immediately following it. The addressable character can be set to any character from 1 to 255. The number selected represents the decimal equivalent of the desired character. For example if an " A " is at the beginning of the data stream then you would set the address to 65. LE F T decrements the character value and R IG H T increments the character value. See Section VII for A SC II character values. If the indicator is sending 7 data bits even or odd parity then the parity bit may change the decimal value of the character by adding 128 to it. W e recommend setting the indicator to 8 data bits no parity for convenience. Default (off) uses standard data stream

O ption 12 Time O ption

O ption 12 is only available with additional hardware purchase. W hen purchased this option is used to set the clock on the display. LE F T increments the hours and R IG H T increments the minutes.

O ption 13 F ix ed Shift V alue

O ption 13 is used to set a fixed shift amount. Turning this option on will prevent the display from resetting the shift value when the display goes through the LE A R N process. It will also disable the LE F T and R IG H T buttons from shifting the stream. The shift value can be set to any amount between 1 and 255, however due to data stream length limitations any number over

O ption Details continued

O ption 14 F ix ed B aud R ate

O ption 14 disables the auto-learn' s ability to detect the baud rate of the data stream and instead configures the baud rate to the set amount. Default (off) will allow the unit to learn on power up when LE A R N is pressed for the correct baud rate. R IG H T cycles through the baud rate possibilities of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200.

O ption 15 F ix ed E nd C haracter

O ption 15 disables the auto-learn' s ability to detect a data stream' s end character. It instead uses only a specific end character. Default (off) will allow the unit to learn on power up when LE A R N is pressed for the correct end character. Possible end characters accepted in default mode include an end of text(E O T), line feed(LF), and carriage return(C R), which have the decimal values of 03, 10, and 13 respectively. Turning on the fixed end character will set the end character into any character. Set the display to the decimal equivalent of the desired character. LE F T decrements the character value and R IG H T increments the character value. A ny character from 1 to 255 can be selected. See Section VII for A SC II character values. If the indicator is sending 7 data bits even or odd parity then the parity bit may change the decimal value of the character by adding 128 to it. W e recommend setting the indicator to 8 data bits no parity for convenience.

O ption 16 M inimum W eight

O ption 16 sets the minimum weight that the unit will display. LE F T will change the value of the selected digit and R IG H T will change which digit is selected. For example if you set the minimum weight to " 000030" and the indicator is sending " 000000" then the display will go B LA N K until the threshold value is exceeded.

O ption 17 M ax imum W eight

O ption 17 sets the maximum weight that the unit will display. LE F T will change the value of the selected digit and R IG H T will change which digit is selected. For example if you set the maximum weight to " 100000" and the indicator is sending " 120000" then the display will go B LA N K until the weight drops below the threshold value.

O ption 18 F uture O p

O ption 18 is reserved for a future option.

O ption 19 Test M ode

O ption 19 sets the display in test mode. W hile in test mode, the display will cycle through several weights and output those weights through the serial ports. Test mode can be used to test the digits, test the unit’ s ability to output and to quickly demonstrate the unit' s appearance of different characters to an end user.

O ption 20 Version

O ption 20 displays the software version of the display. The unit will display the month, followed by the year. This option is only used for trouble shooting purposes.
