Registers
There are 5 types of registers: memory registers, fixed registers, scale registers, Id registers and
special purpose registers.
Memory Registers
Use memory registers for calculated setpoints and for operator entry setpoints. There are 16
memory registers. To access the registers, enter the memory register number (1 to 16) and press
the ENTER key. The display prompts "rEg xx" for 1 second and then displays the contents of the
register. Press the CLEAR key to exit or enter a new value and press the ENTER key. The
following registers have special purpose uses:
Memory register 10: used for indirect relay control. The number in register 10 can be used to
turn on/off a relay.
example: Set Memory10, 7 Set memory register 10 = 7
Relay on, 10 Turn on Relay in register 10 = Turn on relay 7
Memory register 15: used for networking (serial input RQ command). When communications
port 2 receives an RQ command, the data received is automatically put into register 15.

Fixed Registers
Use the fixed registers for values that will not be changed. The fixed registers are entered using
configuration parameters 43-50. They are stored in EA-ROM.

Scale Registers
The scale registers are the gross, tare, and net weights on the scale and the alternate units
registers. The alternate units are not calculated until needed. If the Alt units registers are used in
scale basic, use the Update alt instruction to calculate the current value of the alternate weights.
