when a function key (PRINT, UNITS, GROSS/NET, TARE, F1, F2) is pressed.
Setpoint Monitors

greater than or equal to the upper register ( trigger when: lower register >= upper register ).
Purpose 2: to monitor a condition code and activate a scale basic function when the condition is
true or false. Set the upper register to True or False then the lower register to a condition
code.
Remarks: Setpoint monitors are activated using the Scale Basic instruction: Setpoint On [x].
There are 16 setpoint monitor records that contain the following data:
Upper register [P0] the upper value register, setpoint triggers when lower >= upper
Lower register [P1] the lower value register
Scale Basic Function [P2} the scale basic function to execute when lower >= upper
