DI-100 Initial Setup
DI-100 purchased with a load cell
If you have purchased a load cell together with the DI-100, we would have performed the
calibration at our factory for you. No further setup is required. You may start to use your load cell
now:
• Type:

to view the command list.
• To tare (i.e., reset the zero) the load cell, type: TARE
• To view the weight once, type: W
• To view the weight continuously, type: WC
• Press
to stop the scrolling.
Please skip the rest of this chapter and the next chapter (Calibrating the DI-100). Go directly to the
“DI-100 Command Summary” chapter to review the command set.
