Adjust Gain – 5 Point Linearization
If 5 point Linearization is enabled the gain adjust procedure begins with the display of the
first calibration factor and it’s calibration point. Press the Enter key to begin calibration
of point 1. Use the
Cont.(↓↓↓↓) and Review(↑↑↑↑) keys to lower or raise the calibration factor.
Press the Enter key to advance to the next calibration point. Press the Clear Entry key
to exit gain calibration adjust.
Com & Printer Ports (Bauds up to 115.2k)
Com & Printer Ports provides 4 selections:
1 Com Port 1 (Used for external meter serial input & printer output)
2 Com Port 2 (Used for continuous string output & remote network input)
3 Com Port 3 (Used for Printer/PC/PLC output & barcode scanners)
4 Printer Select (Used to select the printer port Parallel port is included)
The DT220 is equipped with 3 bi-directional serial communication (Com) ports. The
baud rate and format can be set independently for each Com port. Com 1 or 3 are
normally used to output weight data and database reports to a printer. Com port 2 is
normally used for continuous output of weight data, multi-unit networking, remote
display and remote control input. Use the pointer to select a port to configure and then
press the Enter key.
Com Ports 1, 2, and 3
Communication between serial devices requires that both devices have the same baud rate
(transmission speed), data bit length, and parity. The com port configuration allows the
selection of baud rate and mode (bit length and parity).
Com port 2 has an 2 additional parameters: Station ID and TX Format.
The Station ID configures Com port 2 for continuous transmission of scale data or as a
network buss or for single station remote control.
• Enter a 0 to enable continuous transmission of TX 2 data. Enter a station ID (1 to 254)
for multi-drop network configuration
• Enter 255 for single station remote control
The TX Continuous Format has 4 built in weight meter formats. The DT220 can also
transmit the data in any of the DT220 registers to make a custom data string (selection 5
enter register number to transmit registers 1-4 are dedicated and con not be used).
