Parameter 20. Disable Power-On Zero (1 [disabled])
Enter a 1 to disable the power-on zero function. Enter a 0 to enable power-on
zero. The power-on zero function attempts to acquire zero when the power on
tests have completed. If the weight on the scale is above the zero range the
display prompts “Err 0”. Press the ENTER key to view the scale weight. Remove
the weight from the scale to enter weighing mode.
Parameter 21. Deadload Factor
The deadload factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function. This
parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.
Parameter 22. Weight Conversion Factor
The weight conversion factor is automatically calculated by the calibration
function. This parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.
Serial I/O Ports
The IDS 430/433 is equipped with two bi-directional serial communication ports
that can communicate to an optional printer, a computer, bar code reader, a
score board or other serial communication devices. The baud rate and format
can be set independently for each port. Serial port 1 is normally used to output
weight data and ID reports to a printer. Serial port 2 is normally used for
continuous output of weight data. Continuous transmission can be enabled or
disabled and the output format can be customized using Parameters 27 and 28.
Communication between serial devices requires that both devices have the same
baud rate (transmission speed), data bit length, and parity. The mode parameter
selects the data bit length and parity the baud parameter selects the baud rate.
Parameter 23 Serial Port 1 Mode (4 [8 data bits, no parity])
Enter the mode number from the table below to select the mode parameter in the
mode description column.
Mode Number Mode Description
1 7 data bits, no parity
2 7 data bits, even parity
3 7 data bits, odd parity
4 8 data bits, no parity
5 8 data bits, even parity
6 8 data bits, odd parity
