1.0 Introduction

The Counterpart offers practical solutions for a full range of precision counting applications. A bright LCD display enables operators to easily view quantities, alphanumeric text messaging displays, part numbers to verify descriptions, and correct part called from memory. One hundred and fifty item memory and two RS-232 ports and Ethernet enable the Counterpart to provide real-time data collection and position it for the future growth of you r business. Multiple scales can be connected to the Counterpart, as well as an RS-232 bar code scanner and external printer. When portability is required, choose the battery operation option of the Counterpart with up to 24 continuous use for mobile workstations, outdoor applications, and rental fleets. It’s built to withstand transport from one area of the plant to another or from one business to the next. Simply connect a printer via RS-232 for labeling, ticketing, or receipt tasks.

1.2 Capacities and Resolutions

Table 1-1 lists the scale capacities and resolutions for all part numbered models of the Counterpart. Counting scales specify two types of resolution:
• Weight (or external) resolution
• Counting (or internal) resolution
Weight resolution is displayed in divisions of the full scale capacity, which is divided into weight increments. For example, a 5 lb scale divided into 10,000 display divisions would display weight with 0.0005 lb divisions (10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0 lb).
Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution of the scale. The default weight and counting resolutions for the Counterpart capacities are shown below.
Platform Capacity Weighing Resolution Counting Resolution Platform Dimensions
5.0 lb (2 kg) 0.0005 lb (0.0002 kg) 0.000005 9 in. x 12 in. 10 lb (5 kg) 0.001 lb (0.0005 kg) 0.00001 11 in. x 16 in. 25 lb (10 kg) 0.002 lb (0.001 kg) 0.00002 50 lb (20 kg) 0.005 lb (0.002 kg) 0.00005 100 lb (50 kg) 0.01 lb (0.005 kg) 0.0001

2.14 Bracket Assembly Connecting Indicator to Scale Base

The Counterpart scale comes with an easy bracket assembly that conveniently hooks the indicator head to the scale base. There are two bracket assemblies that can be used to attach the indicator to the scale base depending on which scale base is being used.
• DIGI S-XL base bracket assembly kit number 121459
• DIGI S-YC base bracket assembly kit number 154700
The associated assembly is found in the scale base box and is shown below.
Figure 2-16. Bracket Assembly Kit for the Counterpart Scale Base
Use the following steps to attach the indicator to the scale base.
Do not turn the scale upside down. Always work with the scale on its side. Damage to the load cell can occur if the scale is turned upside down.
Installation 17

3.3 Revolution Configuration

The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the Counterpart indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution configuration is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, and then downloaded to another indicator with an identical hardware configuration.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on the indicator serial port or to the optional USB communications card.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.

Specifies the number of full scale graduations.
The value entered must be in the range 1–100000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental limits on system resolution.
To calculate GRADS, use the formula: GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions.
Display divisions are specified under the FORMAT sub-menu. Select your primary, secondary, and tertiary units of measure. Sub-choices include lb, kg, oz,
and g. See Format menu, Figure 3-10.
Scale 3 only.
Automatically zeros the scale when within the range specified, as long as the input is within the ZRANGE and scale is at standstill. Specify the zero tracking band in ± display divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
For scales using linear calibration, do not set the zero tracking band to a value greater than that specified for the first linearization point.
Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.900000 default value is ± 1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at standstill to zero the scale. Use the default value for legal-for-trade applications.
Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If motion is not detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights. Some operations, including print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
If this parameter is set to 0 the standstill annunciator does not light; operations normally requiring standstill (zero, tare, print) are performed regardless of scale motion. If 0 is selected, ZTRKBND must also be set to 0.
Overload. Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Specifies the length of time the scale must be out of motion, in 0.1-second intervals, before the scale is considered to be at standstill. Values greater than 10 are not recommended.
Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from the immediate area of the scale. The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the three filter stages:
DFLTR1 + DFLTR2 + DFLTR3 See Section 9.6 on page 94 for information on digital filtering.
Choices indicate the number of AD conversions per update that are averaged to obtain the displayed reading. A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator.
Digital filter cutout sensitivity. Specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended.

Digital filter cutout threshold. Specifies the filter threshold, in display divisions. When a specified number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS parameter) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended. If NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.
Sample rate. Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital converter. Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity.
Power up mode. In GO mode, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief power up display test.
In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test and then enters a 30-second warm-up period. If no motion is detected during the warm-up period, the indicator becomes operational when the warm-up period ends; if motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and the warm-up period is repeated.
Enables or disables push-button and keyed tares. Possible values are:
BOTH: Both push-button and keyed tares are enabled NOTARE: No tare allowed (gross mode only) PBTARE: Push-button tares enabled KEYED: Keyed tare enabled

When changing scales, a stability check can be either enabled or disabled. If enabled, and the
stability check is successful, no indication is shown and the unit switches to the next scale. If
enabled and the stability check fails, then NON-STABLE is shown on the display and the switch
to the next scale is not made.
When changing scales, the tare weight is transferred from the current scale to the new scale.

Allows the digital output associated with a setpoint to shut off before the setpoint is satisfied to allow for material in suspension. The ON value adjusts the setpoint trip value up or down (depending on the TRIP parameter setting) from the setpoint value using a fixed value specified on the PREVAL parameter. The LEARN value can be used to automatically adjust the preact value after each batch. LEARN compares the actual value at standstill to the target setpoint value, and then adjusts the preact PREVAL by the PREADJ value times the difference after each batch.
Preact adjustment factor. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies a decimal representation of the percentage of error correction applied (0.05 = 50%, 1.0 - 100%) each time a PREACT adjustment is made.
Preact stabilization time-out. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the time, in
0.1-second intervals, to wait for standstill before adjusting the PREACT value. Setting this parameter to a value greater than zero disables the learn process if standstill is not achieved in the specified interval.
Preact learn interval. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the number of batches after which the preact value is recalculated. The default value, 1, recalculates the preact value after every batch cycle.
For the percent relative setpoint, specifies the number of the relative setpoint. The target weight for the %REL setpoint is determined as the percentage (specified on the VALUE parameter of the %REL setpoint) of the target value of the relative setpoint.
Specifies whether the setpoint is used as a batch (ON) or continuous (OFF) setpoint.
Specifiy ON to update the accumulator and perform a print operation when the setpoint is satisfied. Specify ONQUIET to update the accumulator without printing.
Specify ON to perform a print operation when the setpoint is satisfied; specify WAITSS to wait for standstill after setpoint is satisfied before printing.
Specify ON to perform an acquire tare operation when the setpoint is satisfied. Note that PSHTARE acquires the tare regardless of the value specified for the REGULAT parameter on the FEATUR menu.
Specifies the access allowed to setpoint parameters shown by pressing the Setpoint softkey in normal mode. ON: Values can be displayed and changed. HIDE: Values cannot be displayed or changed. OFF: Values can be displayed but not changed.
Lists all digital output bits available. This parameter is used to specify the digital output bit associated with this setpoint. Use the DIGI/O menu to assign bit function to OUTPUT. For continuous setpoints, the digital output becomes active (low) when the condition is met; for batch setpoints, the digital output is active until the setpoint condition is met.
Specifies whether the value of the digital output associated with this setpoint is inverted when the setpoint is satisified.

The Counterpart can be calibrated using the front panel, EDP commands, or Revolution®.
Calibration can be performed in two places within the menu: the CALIBR menu shown in Figure 4-1 and the SCALE sub-menu shown in Figure 3-8 on page 28. The CALIBR menu shown in Figure 4-1 is a “quick access”
calibration; for more in-depth scale setup and calibration, use the menus found under SETUP/CONFIG/ SCALE (see Figure 3-8 on page 28).
Calibration consists of the following steps:
• Zero calibration
• E ntering the test weight value
• Span calibration
• Optional five-point linearization
• Optional rezero calibration for test weights using hooks or chains.
The Counterpart requires the WZERO and WSPAN points to be calibrated. The linearity points are optional,
but must not duplicate zero or span. During calibration, the TARE (Enter) key acts as a data entry confirmation key. The soft calibrate key accepts that value.

4.2 Five-point Linearization

Five-point linearization (using the WLIN parameter) provides increased scale accuracy by calibrating the indicator at up to five additional points between the zero and span calibrations.
Linearization is optional: if you choose not to perform linearization, skip the WLIN parameter; if linearization values have previously been entered, these values are reset to zero during calibration. WZERO and WSPAN must be calibrated before adding linearization points; WLIN values must be less than the WSPAN value and must not duplicate WZERO or WSPAN.

4.6 More About Calibration

The following provides additional information about compensating for environmental factors (Section 4.6.1) and also provides diagnostic information for determining expected zero and span coefficients.

4.6.1 Adjusting Final Calibration

Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 3 lb high. In this case, final calibration can be adjusted by tweaking WVAL to 998.5 lb. This adjustment provides a linear correction of 1.5 lb per 1000 lb.
T o adjust the final calibration, return to the WVAL prompt and press TAR E ( E nter ) to show the test weight value. Press
or to adjust calibration up or down. Press the Calibrate softkey to save the value, and press to return to the
CALIBR menu.

5.0 Scale Operations

The following contains detailed operator instructions for Counterpart, including instructions on how to enter tare weights, toggle between net and gross weight, enter unit weights, perform inventory accumulation and reduction, and toggle between scales. All operator instructions are conducted with the scale in the operation mode that is the weighing or normal mode.
Counting scale accuracy is determined by:
• S ample size (number of pieces)
• Total sample size as a percentage of full scale capacity
• P iece-to-piece weight variation
As a general rule when determining sample size of fairly uniform pieces, the larger the sample size, the greater the total sample weight, and therefore, the better the counting accuracy. Selecting the smallest capacity scale that can obtain the highest counting resolution should be considered, but should not sacrifice the capacity required for the heaviest container of parts. For this kind of application, a dual-platform scale may be the best selection. There is a direct relationship between piece-to-piece weight variation (non-uniformity) and counting accuracy.
Therefore, elimination of the piece-to-piece weight variations can be accomplished by:
1. Isolating the sample used to calculate the unit weight and using the same sample to re-check the scale.
2. Recalculating the unit weight from lot-to-lot of parts. Parts manufactured on one machine may vary
slightly from another machine relative to weight.
3. Tightening the manufacturing tolerances on the parts reduces piece weight variations and increases count
accuracy.
The Stand-by Screen
At the stand-by screen the WEIGHT, UNIT WEIGHT, and QUANTITY displays show zeros and the annunciator for the platform is illuminated (Scale 1 or 2).

5.1 Weight Unit Switching

The weight units displayed can be changed between primary, secondary and tertiary units during weighing operations by pressing the
UNITS TOGGLE key.

5.2 Entering Tare Weights

Tare weights can be entered in the scale by one of two methods: one-touch tare or digital tare. Digital tare is used when the tare weight is already known while one-touch tare is used when the tare weight is unknown. If you call up an Item Code already programmed into the Counterpart memory and you have a ta re weight stored for that Item Code, the tare weight stored with the Item Code will override one entered digitally or by using the

5.2.1 One-Touch Tare, Tare Unknown

1. If the tare weight value is not known, place the item to be tared on the scale and press TA RE . The weight
display should now show 0 and the Net annunciator should illuminate.
2. Remove the item from the scale. The weight display should show a negative weight value (weight of the
tared container, box, or item).
3. To clear the tare weight, press TA RE with no weight on the scale. The scale should be at gross zero. The Net
annunciator will no longer be illuminated.

5.2.2 Digital Tare, Tare Weight Known

1. If the tare weight value is known, use the numeric keypad to key in the value and then press TARE. The Net
annunciator will illuminate.
2. To reset the tare to zero, press TAR E again with no weight on the scale while the scale is at gross zero and
the Zero annunciator is lit.

()
To toggle between net and gross weight, a tare value must be entered into the scale. See Section 5.2 to enter a tare value.
After a tare value is entered into the scale, items placed on the scale will cause the Net annunciator to illuminate and allow toggling between net weight and gross weight. For example:
1. Place 0.5 lb weight on the scale and then press TARE . The weight display should show 0.000 lb.
2. Place another 0.5 lb weight on the scale. The scale weight display should show 0.500 and the Net
annunciator should be illuminated.
3. Press the GROSS/NET key. The weight display should show 1.000 GROSS WEIGHT, and the Net annunciator
will no longer be illuminated.
4. Press the GROSS/NET key . The weight display should show 0.50 0 and the Net weight annunciator should be
illuminated again.

5.4 Entering Unit Weights

Entering unit weights can be done either by sampling, as presented in Section 5.4.1, or by key entry as described in Section 5.4.2.
EXTENT OF INSUFFICIENT SAMPLES controls unit weight sampling. The default setting for the INSFSMPLE is
0.1 percent.
SAMPLE QUANTITY determines the number of pieces the scale assumes are on the platter when you press the SAMPLE key to calculate the unit weight. The default setting is 10 pieces.
XFRUNITWT sets whether the unit weight determined by sampling is automatically transferred from Scale 1 to Scale 2. The default setting is AUTOMATIC.
UNIT WEIGHT BASE controls whether the unit weight is displayed per 1000 pieces or per 1 piece. The default setting for this is 1000 pieces.
Unit Weight per 1000 Pieces vs. Unit Weight per 1 Piece
The scale’s internal microprocessor calculates unit weights to several decimal places. However, the scale display generally can only show unit weight to a maximum of 8 characters (or 7 places and a decimal point). If this unit weight is recorded from the scale display and entered by key entry, this can introduce errors in the unit weight and consequently in the counts. This error increases as the unit weight of the parts being counted decreases.
Example: A sample of 10 zener diodes is placed on the scale. The unit weight is computed to be 0.000653642 lbs. However, the scale has a 7 character display for unit weight (or 6 places after the decimal point — 0.00000 0) so the scale can only display 0.000653 as the unit weight. If this unit weight were recorded and keyboard entered in future counting operations, the resulting error would be:
On the other hand, with entry of the unit weight as “weight per 1000 pieces” the decimal place is, in effect, moved three places to the right, allowing 3 more decimal places of accuracy. In this example, the entry would be made as
0.653642 per 1000 pieces, eliminating the error. As a practical note, entering unit weights per 1000 pieces also lessens the chances of entering the wrong number of
zeros when keying in weights with many leading zeros. Incorrect entry of unit weights is a common cause of inaccurate counting.
You might want to use unit weight per 1 piece generally this case:
1. When working with other existing systems or procedures that are already set up to record unit weight per
piece such as (inventory systems or labeling requirements).

5.4.1 Unit Weight Operation by Sampling

Note
Note
Unit weight operation by sampling is accomplished by placing a 10 piece sample on the scale and then pressing the
SAMPLE key. The scale calculates a unit weight based on the weight of the sample. The following details the
procedure with UNIT WEIGHT set at either on or off. Default settings are placed at 10 pieces. To key in a larger sample, key in the quantity and press SAMPLE.
Unit Weight Update Set to “Off” (Default)
Parts can be sampled (generating a new unit weight) or a unit weight can be scanned, but the new unit weight is not saved into the stored copy of the loaded ID record.
Unit Weight Update Set to “On”
Parts can be sampled (generating a new unit weight) or a unit weight can be keyed or scanned and the new unit weight is saved into the stored copy of the currently loaded ID record. If WeighVault is also enabled, a WeighVault ID update will also occur.

5.4.2 Unit Weight Operation by Key Entry

Unit weight operation by key entry is accomplished by using the numeric keypad to enter the known value of the unit weight and then pressing the
1. With the display in the weighing mode, enter the known unit weight of 200.00 using the keyboard.
2. Press the UNIT WEIGHT key to enter the unit weight.
3. Place a 2 lb weight on the scale. The weight display reads 2.000, the unit weight display reads 200.00, and
the quantity display reads 10.
You can also enter a weight as APW (average piece weight) or unit weight per thousand.
UNIT WEIGHT key. For example:
To clear the unit value, enter 0 and push the Unit Weight key.
Piece Weight Enhancement
After performing a sample process, the unit determines the maximum number of pieces that could be accurately used for a recompute. If the number of pieces on the scale is less than the recompute value, the RECOMP annunciator will be shown.
1. Place items to be counted on the scale platter; make sure the RECOMP annunciator is still on.
2. Press the SAMPLE key while the RECOMP annunciator is shown. This will start a sample process using the
current piece count (instead of the SAMPLEQTY value) as the sample quantity.
Negative Counting (Full Box Counting)
Just as you can count by adding parts to the scale, you can also count by removing parts from the scale. This is called “negative counting” because a negative weight is displayed while counting. However, you do not use the ( key to do negative counting. The (
-) key is only used to delete an entry in accumulation mode that you want to
-)
erase. This procedure does not affect the inventory quantity for this item stored in the scale.
To utilize the negative counting feature, set NEGCOUNT to “On” under the Count Menu and the regulatory mode must be set to Industrial.
There are two ways to do this depending on whether you want to see the total amount remaining in the container or the total amount removed from the container.

Batching Switch
The batching switch option, PN 19369, comes as a complete unit in an FRP enclosure, with legend plate, locking stop switch (mushroom button), and a run/start/abort 3-way switch.
Both switches are wired into the Counterpart’s digital I/O terminal strip as shown in Figure 5-6 on page 70. Each switch uses a separate digital input.
Once cables and switch have been connected to Counterpart, use the menu button to place Counterpart in setu p mode. Use the DIG I/O menu to configure the digital input and output functions.
Figure 5-5. Batching Switch
When configuration is complete, exit setup mode. Initialize the batch by turning the 3-way switch to Abort, then unlock the STOP button (the STOP button must be in the OUT position to allow the batch process to run). The batching switch is now ready to use.
If no digital input is assigned to BATRUN, batching proceeds as if BATRUN were always on; the batch will start the 3-way switch is turned to RUN, but the STOP mushroom button will not function

5.11 Connecting a Barcode Scanner

Note
The Counterpart will accept a barcode scanner connected to the unit. In order to use a scanner, you must set the specifications of the Counterpart scale to recognize the scanner to the appropriate port and, in some cases, do the setup on the scanner required by the scanner manufacturer.
The scanner allows non-contact, instantaneous, and accura te input of unit weight, tare weight, and ID code.
QD2100 Barcode Scanner
If you are using the Quickscan QD2100 barcode scanner sold by Rice Lake Weighing Systems, you can set up the scanner by connecting the scanner (PN121495) to the RS-232 p ort on the Counterpart CPU board. Plug connector with three wires into serial port 2 (J4) and plug with one wire into DIGIO (J3). Connections between the barcode scanner and Counterpart should be wired as shown in

6.0 Serial Commands

The Counterpart can be controlled by a PC or remote keyboard connected to an indicator serial port. Control is provided by a set of serial commands that can simulate front panel key press functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. This provides the ability to print configuration data or to save to your hard drive.

6.1 The Serial Command Set

The serial command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the RESETCONFIGURATION special function command, parameter setting commands, and transmit weight data commands. When a serial command is processed, the Counterpart responds with the message verifies that the command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the Counterpart responds with
??.
The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.

6.1.1 Key Press Commands

Key press serial commands simulate pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator. These commands can be used in both setup and normal (weighing) mode. Several of the commands serve as “pseudo” keys, providing functions that are not represented by a key on the front panel.

Note
The Counterpart provides nine print formats, GFMT, NFMT, TOTALFMT, PALFMT, CFMT, ACCFMT, SPFMT, HDRFMT1,
HDRFMT2. These determine the format of the printed output when the PRINT key is pressed or when a KPRINT
and EDP command is received. The HDRFMTs must be called from another format. The SPFMT (setpoint print format) is printed from a setpoint routine.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 500 characters of information, two header formats are limited to 100 characters each), such as company names and addresses, on printed tickets. You can use the indicator front
PFORMT menu), EDP commands, or the Revolution
panel (
Print formats are limited to 500 characters. The two header formats are limited to 100 characters each.

Gross, net, tare, and accumulator weights can be printed in any configured weight units by adding the following modifiers to the gross, net, tare, and accumulator weight commands: /P (primary units), /D (displayed units), /S (secondary units), /T (tertiary units). If not specified, the current displayed units (/D) is assumed. Example: To format a ticket to show net weight in secondary units, use the following command: <N/S>.
UNIT ID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 1–6 characters in length, as required. * If nn is not specified, 1 is assumed. Value must be in the range 1–99. ** After receiving an WA command, the indicator sends unformatted data until the next WA command is received. Unformatted
data omits decimal points, leading and trailing characters.

Table 7-2. Default Print Formats
The 500-character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting commands, not the command length. For example, if the indicator is configured to show a decimal point, the <G> command generates an output field of 13 characters: the 10-character weight value (including decimal point), one space, and a two-digit units identifier. The two header formats as limited to 100 characters each.
The default Counterpart print formats are shown in Table 7-2 and Table 7-3:

7.2 Customizing Print Formats

Note
The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT and CFMT formats using the EDP port, the front panel (
PFORMT menu), and the Revolution

7.2.1 Using the EDP Port

With a personal computer, terminal, you can use the EDP command set to customize the print format strings. To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the string (GFMT.FMT or NFMT.FMT) and press TA RE
(Enter)
. For example, to check the current configuration of the GFMT.FMT format, type GFMT.FMT and press ENTER.
The indicator responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:
GFMT.FMT=<G> GROSS<NL>
To change the format, use the GFMT.FMT or NFMT EDP command followed by an equals sign (=) and the modified print format string. For example, to add the name and address of a company to the gross format, you could send the following EDP command:
Indicator must be placed in the configuration mode with CONFIG shown on the display.
GFMT.FMT=FINE TRANSFER CO<NL>32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>
A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:
FINE TRANSFER CO 32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD SMALLTOWN
®
configuration utility.
1345 lb GROSS

7.2.2 Using the Front Panel

If you have no access to equipment for communication through the EDP port or are working at a site where such equipment cannot be used, you can use the
PFORMT menu (see Figure 7-1) to customize the print formats.
Figure 7-1. PFORMT Menu, Showing Alphanumeric Character Entry Procedure
Print Formatting 83
Page 90
7.2.3 Using Revolution
®
The Revolution configuration utility provides a print formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to construct the print format without the formatting commands (<NL> and <SP>) required by the front panel or EDP command methods. Using Revolution, you can type text directly into the grid, then select weight value fields from the tool bar and place them where you want them to appear on the printed ticket.
Figure 7-2 shows an example of the Revolution print formatting grid.

9.2 Using the XE and XEH EDP Commands

The XE and XEH EDP commands can be used to remotely query the Counterpart for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns a 5-digit number in the format:
xxxxx
where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of any existing error conditions as described in Table 9-2. The XEH command returns a value in the format:
0xnnnnnnnn
where nnnnnnnn contains a hexadecimal representation of any existing conditions as described in Table 9-2. If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error
conditions. For example, if the XE command returns the number 1040, this value represents the sum of an A/D reference error (1024) and an A/D calibration checksum error (16).

9.4 Demand Output Serial Data Format

When demand mode is configured for the serial port (STREAM parameter set to OFF), the Counterpart uses a data string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator configuration.
You can customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote equipment. See
Section 7.0 on page 79 for more information on custom print formats.

9.5 Custom Stream Formatting

Each port can be independently configured to stream a default frame format or can be customized to stream a user­defined format. Custom formatting is very similar to the standard print formatting described in page 79. Table 9-3 lists the format identifiers used to configure a custom stream format.

The Counterpart uses averaged digital filtering to reduce the effect of vibration on weight readings. Adjustable threshold and sensitivity functions allow quick settling by suspending filter averaging, allowing the weight reading to jump to the new value.
Figure 9-2 shows the digital filter parameters on the CONFIG menu.
Figure 9-2. Digital Filtering Parameters on the Configuration (CONFIG) Menu
Figure 9-3. Flow Diagram for Counterpart Digital Filters

9.6.1 DIGFLx Parameters

The first three digital filtering parameters, DFLTR1, DFLTRL2, and DFLTR3, are configurable filter stages that control the effect of a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. The value assigned to each parameter sets the number of readings received from the preceding filter stage before averaging (see
The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the three filter stages:
DFLTR1 + D F LT R 2 + DFLTR3
For example, if the filters are configured as DFLTR1=4, DFLTR2=8, DFLTR3=8, the overall filtering effect is 20 (4 + 8 + 8). With this configuration, each A/D reading has a 1-in-20 effect on the displayed weight value. Setting the filters to 1 effectively disables digital filtering.

9.6.2 DFSENS and DFTHRH Parameters

The three digital filters can be used by themselves to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases settling time. The DFSENS (digital filter sensitivity) and DFTHRH (digital filter threshold) parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and improve settling time:
• DFSENS specifies the number of consecutive scale readings that must fall outside the filter threshold
• DFTHRH sets a threshold value, in display divisions. When a specified number of consecutive scale

readings (DFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended. Set DFTHRH to NONE to turn off the filter override.
