Configuration 19
3.0 Configuration
To configure the 920i indicator, the indicator must be
placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by
removing the large fillister head screw on the
backplate of the universal and deep enclosures.
Switch position is changed by inserting a screwdriver
into the access hole and pressing the switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, a series of
menus is shown across the top of the display, along
with the words
Scale Configuration
. The SCALES menu
is highlighted as the first used to configure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
provided in Section 3.2.
When configuration is complete, press the
Exit
or
Save
and Exit
softkey to exit setup mode, then replace the
setup switch access screw.
• The
Exit
softkey exits setup mode without saving
parameter changes to NV RAM. Changes made
to the configuration remain in the system until
indicator power is cycled.
•
Save and Exit
writes all parameter changes to NV
RAM before returning to normal mode.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The
920i
indicator can be configured by using the
front panel keys to navigate through a series of
configuration menus or by sending commands or
configuration data to an indicator serial port.
Configuration using the menus is described in
Section 3.1.3.

3.1.1 iRev Configuration
The iRev configuration utility provides the preferred
method for configuring the
920i
indicator.
iRev
runs
on a personal computer to set configuration
parameters for the indicator. When
iRev
configuration
is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the
indicator.
iRev
supports both uploading and downloading of
indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator,
edited, then downloaded to another indicator with an
identical hardware configuration.
Figure 3-1. iRev Hardware Configuration Display
To use iRev , do the following:
1. Install
iRev
on an IBM-compatible personal
computer. See Section 5.0 on page 54 for
detailed hardware and software requirements.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins
on the indicator serial port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the
setup switch to place the indicator in setup
mode.
4. Start the
iRev
program.
iRev
provides online help for each of its configuration
displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this
manual for front panel configuration can also be used
when configuring the indicator using
iRev
: The
interface is different, but the parameters set are the
same.
See Section 5.0 on page 54 for more information about
using
iRev
to configure the
