CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION
3.1 CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the
indicator to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu, which configures the serial
communication port and enables some user options. The Setup and User menus consist of
several menu selections, each with its own sub-menu of choices.
To set up the indicator, you must first enter the appropriate menu mode. Once there, four of the front
panel keys become directional navigators to move around in the menus, and one key is used to save
or SET the selections.
