96 Counterpart Counting Scale Indicator
9.7 USB Keyboard Interface
The USB interface option board provides a type-A connection for a USB keyboard interface. To use the keyboard
interface, set the serial input function for Port 3 (found under the SERIAL menu — see
Figure 3-22 on page 51) to
KEYBOARD.
Table 9-4 summarizes the Counterpart specific functions provided by the keyboard interface, most other
alphanumeric and navigational keys provide functions equivalent to those typical for PC operation. Menu
parameters and serial commands that affect the indicator keypad operation (including KBDLCK, ZERONLY, and
KLOCK serial commands also affect the remote keyboard.
The keyboard interface is hot-pluggable.
Caps lock is functional (off at indicator power up).
Num lock is on and cannot be turned off.
Scroll lock is not supported.
Other USB devices are not supported.
9.8 Serial Scale Interface
Serial port 1 can be configured for serial scale input. The serial scale function allows other scale indicators to send
gross, or net weight data to Counterpart. Once the serial port has been configured to accept scale data, the data
format can be customized to match the data stream sent by that indicator. See
Figure 3-22 on page 51 for setup
information.
To set up and configure a serial scale:
1. Under the SERIAL menu, select Port 1 and scroll over to IND SC (industrial serial scale) or SCALE
(Legal-for-Trade), depending on what is required. This enables Scale 3. For operation with the counting
functions, set type to IND SC.
2. Match the baud rates (9600), data bits and parity, and stop bits. This becomes SCALE 3.
3. Set the format under the SFMT parameter to match the format sent by the serial scale.
An example of the default serial scale format is:
<STX><P><W7><U><M><S><CR>
