3.3.6. Scale Indicator Setup, Continued
Mode Field Setup: The mode fields will indicate the mode that the scale indicator is
in. The only allowed mode of the scale indicator is: Gross.
• Default: If there is a mode field in the data format, then the mode should not
default to anything (None). It should read the mode from the reading instead.
Some data formats will combine the mode information into the status field. In
that case, this setting can be set to the expected mode (Gross).
• Gross: specify the character(s) used to determine if gross is the mode. Status
Field Setup This field will indicate the status of the scale data. If this field is
available the The valid status must be mapped. Any additional mappings will
be useful as well, especially the motion status.
Units Field Setup: The units field will indicate the units of measure that the scale is
reporting the weight in. This section allows you to specify which characters in the
reading map to pounds or kilograms.
• Default: If there is a unit of measure field in the data format, then the units
field should not default to anything (None). It should read the units from the
reading instead. Some data formats will combine the unit of measure
information into the status field. In that case, this setting can be set to the
expected unit of measure. You will still need to select pounds or kilograms via
the radio buttons as the expected units of measure.
• Pounds: Specify the character(s) used to determine if pounds is the unit of
measure. Also use the radio button to indicate that pounds is the expected unit
of measure. In order to be NTEP compliant the unit of measure must be
pounds.
• Kilograms: Specify the character(s) used to determine if kilograms is the unit
of measure. Also use the radio button to indicate that kilograms is the
expected unit of measure.
Status Field Setup: This field will indicate the status of the scale data. If this field is
available the The valid status must be mapped. Any additional mappings will be
useful as well, especially the motion status.
• Default: If there is a status field in the data format, then the status should not
default to anything (None). It should read the status from the reading instead.
There will be a few data formats that do not have a status field. In that case we
have no choice but to default to Valid.
• Valid: Specify the character(s) used to determine if status is valid.
