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 your
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 hours of
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.
1.1 Standard Features

Counterpart offers a variety of standard features:
• AC operated (battery operation is optional)
• Lb, kg, g, oz weight display conversion
• Single- or dual-channel models with serial scale
• Two RS-232 ports for peripheral connections (with one port also supporting 20 mA transmit)
• On board Ethernet capability
• Scanner input (using RS-232 port)
• Revolution software utility for setup
• 150 item memory
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

2.8 Cable Grounding
Except for the power cord, all cables should be grounded against the scale enclosure. Do the following to ground
shielded cables.
• Use the lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts provided in the parts kit to install grounding clamps on the
enclosure studs. Install grounding clamps that will be used; do not tighten nuts.
• Route cables and grounding clamps to determine cable lengths required to reach cable connectors. Mark
cables to remove insulation and shield as described below.
• For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation and foil from the cable half an inch (15 mm) past the
grounding clamp (see Figure 2-9). Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the cable passes through the
clamp. Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.
• For cables with braided shielding, strip cable insulation and braided shield from a point just past the
grounding clamp. Strip another half inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the braid where the cable
passes through the clamp (see Figure 2-9).
• Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

2.8.2 Digital I/O
The Digital I/O can be configured as either digital inputs or digital outputs as determined by the Digital I/O menu
(see Section 3.7.3 on page 42). The inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0 VDC) and can be driven by TTL or
5V logic without additional hardware. Use the Digital I/O menu (see Section 3.7.3 on page 42) to configure the
digital inputs. LEDs on the CPU board light when digital inputs are active (see Figure 2-10).
Digital outputs are typically used to control relays that drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink not
source, switching current. Each output is a CMOS circuit, capable of sinking 24 mA when active. Digital outputs
are wired to switch relays when the digital output is active (low, 0 VDC) with reference to 5 VDC supply. LEDs on
the CPU board light up when the digital outputs are active (see Figure 2-10).

2.11 CPU Board Battery Replacement
Risk of explosion exists if battery is replaced with incorrect type. Dispose of batteries according to
CAUTION manufacturer instructions.
The lithium battery on the CPU board maintains the real-time clock and protects data stored in the system RAM
when the indicator is not connected to AC power. Data protected by this battery includes time and date, IDs,
buffered WeighVault transaction data and setpoint value data. If any data is lost, the indicator configuration can be
restored from the PC. Watch for the low battery warning on the LCD display and periodically check the battery
voltage on the CPU board. Batteries should be replaced when the indicator low battery warning comes on, or when
battery voltage falls to 2.2 VDC. Life expectancy of the battery is 7 years. Use Revolution to store a copy of the
configuration before attempting to replace the battery.
For best results, replace the battery while in weigh mode and with AC power applied. Use care not to bend the
battery retaining spring. The battery location on the CPU board is shown in Figure 2-13 on page 15 as B1.

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
CAUTION occur if the scale is turned upside down.
Installation 17
1. Stand scale base on its side to attach the bracket to the scale using the screws provided in the bracket kit.
2. Ensure that the cable underneath the scale base is threaded through the opening between the scale and the
bracket, otherwise it will not fit.(shown in Figures 2-18 and 2-19).
Ensure the cable from the

Note underside of the scale is run
between bracket and scale
prior to attaching bracket.
Figure 2-17. Attach Bracket Assembly to Scale Base While Scale Is Tipped on its Side (DIGI S-XL Base Shown).

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.

scales
TRIP Higher Specifies whether the setpoint is satisfied when the weight is higher or lower than the setpoint
Lower value, within a band established around the value, or outside of that band.
Inband In a batch sequence with TRIP = HIGHER, the associated digital output is active until the
Outband setpoint value is reached or exceeded; with TRIP = LOWER, the output is active until the
weight goes below the setpoint value.
BANDVAL number
HYSTER number Specifies a band around the setpoint value that must be exceeded before the setpoint, once
off, can trip on again.

PREACT Off Allows the digital output associated with a setpoint to shut off before the setpoint is satisfied to
On allow for material in suspension.
Learn 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.
PREVAL
PREADJ 0.500000 Preact adjustment factor. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies a decimal
0-9999999 representation of the percentage of error correction applied (0.05 = 50%, 1.0 - 100%) each
time a PREACT adjustment is made.
PRESTAB 0 Preact stabilization time-out. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the time, in
0-65535 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.
PCOUNT 1 Preact learn interval. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the number of
0-65535 batches after which the preact value is recalculated. The default value, 1, recalculates the
preact value after every batch cycle.
RELNUM 1 For the percent relative setpoint, specifies the number of the relative setpoint. The target
2 weight for the %REL setpoint is determined as the percentage (specified on the VALUE
3 parameter of the %REL setpoint) of the target value of the relative setpoint.

PSHACCM Off Specifiy ON to update the accumulator and perform a print operation when the setpoint is
On satisfied. Specify ONQUIET to update the accumulator without printing.
ONquiet
PSHPRNT Off Specify ON to perform a print operation when the setpoint is satisfied; specify WAITSS to wait
On for standstill after setpoint is satisfied before printing.
Waitss
PSHTARE Off Specify ON to perform an acquire tare operation when the setpoint is satisfied. Note that
On PSHTARE acquires the tare regardless of the value specified for the REGULAT parameter on
the FEATUR menu.
ACCESS On Specifies the access allowed to setpoint parameters shown by pressing the Setpoint softkey in
Hide normal mode.
Off ON: Values can be displayed and changed.
HIDE: Values cannot be displayed or changed.
OFF: Values can be displayed but not changed.
DIGOUT None Lists all digital output bits available. This parameter is used to specify the digital output bit
1-4 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.

4.0 Calibration
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
Note 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
• Entering 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,
Note 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.

Note If you do not want to calibrate span, press Menu to exit.
6. After the Calibrate softkey is pressed, the indicator displays CALIBRATING when complete. Press TARE
(Enter) or and the Save Exit softkey or proceed to WLIN.
To view the new AD count, navigate back to the WSPAN, and repeat Step 6; however, instead of pressing the
Note Calibrate softkey while viewing the value, press Save/Exit to exit.
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.
To perform linearization, follow the procedure below:
With WLIN displayed, press Down to go to the first linearization point (POINT 1) and then press Down again to show
the weight value prompt (WGT 1). Then press Down to show the weight value. Place test weights on the scale, and
use the numeric keypad to enter the actual test weight value. Press enter to save the value and move to the
calibration (CAL 1) prompt. Press down to show the current calibration value, and then press the Calibrate softkey to
calibrate the linearization point. When complete, the AD count for the linear calibration is displayed. Press enter
again to save the calibration value and go to the next prompt (POINT 2).
Repeat for up to five linearization points. To exit the linearization parameters, press the Up key to return to WLIN.
4.3 Rezero
The optional rezero function is used to remove a calibration offset when hooks or chains are used to hang the test
weights.
Note The rezero function cannot be used with five-point linear calibration.
If no other apparatus was used to hang the test weights during calibration, remove the test weights and press Up to
return to the CALIBR sub-menu.
If hooks or chains were used during calibration, remove these and the test weights from the scale. With all weight
removed, go to the REZERO parameter, and press Down to show the current zero value. Press the Calibrate softkey
to adjust the zero and span calibration values. Press enter or Up to return to the CALIBR sub-menu.
Press Up to return to the SCALES menu, or press the Save and Exit softkey to exit setup mode.
4.4 EDP Command Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using EDP commands, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a terminal or
personal computer. See Section 2.8.1 on page 12 for EDP port pin assignments.
Once the indicator is connected to the sending device, do the following:
1. Place the indicator in config mode (display must read SCALE — see Figure 3-8 on page 28) and remove all
weight from the scale platform. If your test weights require hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on
the scale for zero calibration.
2. Send the SC.WZERO#n command to calibrate zero. The indicator displays CALIBRATING while calibration
is in progress.
3. Place test weights on the scale and use the SC.WVAL#n command to enter the test weight value in the
following format:
SC.WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>
4. Send the SC.WSPAN#n command to calibrate span. The indicator displays CALIBRATING while calibration
is in progress.

5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated between the zero and span calibration values. Use the
following commands to set and calibrate a single linearization point:
SC.WLIN.V1=nnnnn<CR>
SC.WLIN.C1<CR>
The SC.WLIN.V1#n command sets the test weight value (nnnnn) for linearization point 1. The
SC.WLIN.C1#n command calibrates the point. Repeat using the SC.WLIN.Vx and SC.WLIN.Cx
commands as required for additional linearization points.
6. To remove an offset value, clear all weight from the scale, including hooks or chains used to hang test
weights, and send the SC.REZERO#n command. The indicator displays CALIBRATING while the zero and
span calibrations are adjusted.
7. Send the SC.KUPARROW#n or the SC.KEXIT#n EDP command to return to normal mode.
4.5 Revolution® Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using Revolution, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a PC running the
Revolution configuration utility.
1. Place the indicator in config mode (display reads SCALE, — see Figure 3-8 on page 28) and remove all
weight from the scale platform.
2. From Revolution, select File » New. The Select Indicator dialog box appears.
3. Select Counterpart and click OK.
4. From the Communications menu, select Connect.
5. From the left pane, expand the Scale selection and click the Scale button.

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.
To adjust the final calibration, return to the WVAL prompt and press TARE (Enter) 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:
• Sample size (number of pieces)
• Total sample size as a percentage of full scale capacity
• Piece-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 tare weight stored for that Item
Code, the tare weight stored with the Item Code will override one entered digitally or by using the TARE key.
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 TARE. 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 TARE 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 TARE again with no weight on the scale while the scale is at gross zero and
the Zero annunciator is lit.
Scale Operations 59
5.3 Toggling Between Gross and Net
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 0.500 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
Note 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
Note 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 — 0.000000) 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: 0.000653642 - 0.000653 x 100
= 0.098%
0.000653642
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
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 UNIT WEIGHT key. For example:
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.
Note 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
Note 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.
Scale Operations 61
Counting Out of a Full Container — See Total Amount Remaining in the Container
To carry out this operation you must know the tare weight ahead of time.
1. Place the full container on the scale. Press the TARE key.
2. Remove a 10 piece sample from the container and press the SAMPLE key. After the unit weight has been
calculated, return the sample to the container.
3. If you want to see how many are still in the bin, you first have to know the tare weight of the bin or
container. After removing the parts you want to take out of the bin, enter the tare weight of the bin and
press the TARE key. The scale will display how many parts were left in the bin. To print a label to put on the
bin showing the total quantity in the bin, press the PRINT key.
Negative Counting — Total Removed Displayed at the End
With this procedure you can count accurately out of a full container for kitting or shipping without having to know
the tare weight of the container.
1. Place a full container on the scale and press TARE.
2. Remove a 10 piece sample from the container and press SAMPLE. After the unit weight has been
calculated, return the sample to the container.
3. Remove the number of pieces you need for kitting or shipping. The amount removed will be displayed. If
you need a label for each kit or container, press the PRINT key after removing each batch of pieces.
5.5 IDs
IDs are used to save and recall previously set codes, descriptions, unit weight, and tare preferences. The
Counterpart has the capacity to store up to 150 individual IDs. There are three ways IDs can be entered and set:
1. Normal

5.6 WeighVault
WeighVault is a PC program that allows Counterpart users to add, edit, and access IDs over a network connection.
WeighVault surpasses the Counterpart's 150 ID limitation and eliminates front-panel entry of ID parameters. In and
Out softkeys can be used to update the ID quantity with inventory changes. Setting up softkeys is explained in
Section 1.7 on page 5. If WeighVault is enabled the inventory changes are also sent to the WeighVault PC.
It also collects data as transactions occur, and provides detailed transaction and productivity reports that can be
exported to Excel, Word, or PDF. For WeighVault to function, the following criteria must be met:
• Use onboard Ethernet or wireless option (PN72117 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Installation and
Configuration Manual)
• IP address assigned to the Counterpart (Refer to PN72117 Ethernet TCP/IP Interface Installation and
Configuration Manual)
• WeighVault enabled in the Counterpart menu (ETHERNET menu; see Section 3.7.3 on page 42). Table 5-

5.6.2 Using WeighVault
Once the above criteria have been met, IDs can be entered into WeighVault and saved on the PC’s hard drive. The
Edit Product dialog box in Figure 5-3 shows ID parameters that can be saved in WeighVault.
For testing purposes, enter a few part numbers and click Save Changes to Database.
Figure 5-3. WeighVault Edit Product Dialog Box
To access a saved ID from WeighVault over the network connection,

1. Using the Counterpart front panel, press the CODE key.
2. Enter an ID CODE value.
3. Press the TARE (Enter) key. The ID CODE is loaded and ready to use.
If the demo feature is complete and not being used permanently with WeighVault, go to your network settings
Note and turn off the Assign IP Address feature.

5.7 Totalization Counts
Counterpart has a totalization function that allows you to totalize the quantity of several weighings together. This is
especially helpful if putting together parts kits. The ID code is functional with totalization, count or weight.
For full operation of the totalization feature, configure the unit with the following softkeys:
TOTAL+
TOTAL-
Clear Total
To find the total accumulated quantity of similar containers filled with parts, use the totalization procedure detailed
below. Six containers are used in this example; all containers are of the same empty weight.
1. Conduct a sampling process to determine the unit weight of the pieces, or key in a known unit weight or
recall an ID.
2. Enter a known tare weight or place an empty container on the scale to perform tare function. If an ID was
recalled in step 1, its tare value is already loaded.
3. Place container 1 (full of parts) on the scale. The number of pieces in the container is shown in the PCS
area of the display.
4. Press the Total + softkey to store the number of pieces in container 1. The memory (M) icon is shown. The
net weight of the items in the containers is stored and the totalization count is incremented. The piece count
value is displayed. The total count is shown in place of the unit weight display, and it is labeled as Total
Weight ttl.
5. Remove container 1 and place container 2 (full of parts) on the scale.
6. Press the Total + softkey. The accumulated total is now equal to container 1 plus container 2. The displayed
total is also updated.
7. Continue with the remainder of the containers in the same totalization method. The total number of parts
stored in all six containers (and the weight of the parts in those containers) is now stored and shown on the
display.
Note
• An ID may be loaded while part totalization is being performed, the ID Quantity value is not affected by
the totalizations operations.
• If a totalization has been started and the Code softkey is pressed — the unit will prompt Exit Totalization
Mode? with Yes and No softkeys. Pressing Yes clears the total, exits from totalization mode and brings up
the normal prompt for entering an ID code. If No is pressed, the unit does not prompt for an ID Code and
totalization can continue.
• The user cannot switch to another scale during totalization. If the Unit Toggle key is pressed during
totalization, the message not allowed — totalizing will be displayed and the switch will not occur.
• The user cannot switch units during totalization. If the Unit Toggle key is pressed during totalization, the
message not allowed - totalizing will be displayed and the switch will not occur.
• During totalization an icon is displayed between the battery icon and the main display area label. The icon
is an uppercase M for memory.
• For each totalization done (Total+ or Total-) a count will be incremented. This value can be printed. When
the total value is cleared and totalization mode is exited, the count will be cleared as well.
• While in totalization mode, pressing the Print key will print the total format — TOTALFMT.
• When attempting a totalization, a motion check can be performed based upon the setting of the TOTAL
parameter in the Feature/Count menu. If Total is ON and if there is motion, then one more attempt will be
made after two seconds. The default setting is OFF.
• To clear the total value, press the Clear Total softkey, and it will clear the total value.
Scale Operations 67
5.8 Parts Reduction Counts
Parts reduction can also be done by using the minus key while the scale is in the weighing mode and the memory
annunciator is on.
1. Conduct a sampling process to determine the unit weight of the pieces, or key in a known weight or recall
an ID.
2. Enter known tare weight, or place an empty container on the scale to perform tare function. If ID was
recalled in step one, its tare value is already loaded.
3. Place the container (full of parts) on the scale. The number of pieces in the container is shown in the PCS
area of the display.
4. Press the Total + softkey to store the number of pieces in the container. The memory (M) icon is shown. The
net weight of the items in the container is stored and the totalization count is incremented. The total piece
count value is shown in place of the piece weight value and will be labeled ttl. The total net weight is
shown in place of the normal ID Code: line - it is labeled as Total Weight.
5. Remove the number of parts required from the container and press the Total - softkey. The total piece count
value is now equal to the number of pieces removed. The number of pieces remaining in the container is
shown in the PCS area of the display. The total weight is now equal to the weight of the removed pieces.
6. Repeat step 5 as needed.
Note Once part reduction has been started, Pressing Total + will give you an error message.
5.9 Accumulate Feature For Weight

The accumulate feature allows a weight value to be accumulated. The following steps to use this feature.
1. Enable the Accumulate in the Scale Menu. Press the On key, and the display will say Accumulator Enabled.
2. Set up the Display Accum — (DSP ACC) and Swap Display (SWAPDSP) softkey. See Section 1.7 on page 5 of
the manual for help on setting up softkeys.
3. The weight must be active on the display.
4. Each time there is a print, the weight value is added to the accum register and keeps track of how many
accums were completed. Product must be removed from the platform and the display returned to zero each
time this is done.
5.9.1 Printing the Accumulated Total
Press the Print key to print the accumulated total when the Accum Value is displayed.
5.9.2 Clearing the Accumulated Total
1. Push the CLR key when the display Accum has been pressed.
2. PRESS CLEAR TO VERIFY is displayed. Press CLR again to clear the accum value.
5.9.3 IN/OUT Softkeys
Use the following steps to set up IN and OUT softkeys.
1. Push IN to add the displayed count value to quantity on hand of a stored ID code.
2. Push OUT to removed the displayed count value to quantity on hand of a stored ID code.

5.10 Batch Operations
Softkeys can be configured to allow the operator control of batch operations from the Counterpart front panel (see
Figure 5-4). Softkeys can be configured using serial commands, or the FEATURE menu.

Batch Start Starts the batch process
Batch Reset Steps and resets an active batch to the beginning of the process.
Batch Stop Stops an active batch and turns off all associated digital outputs.
Table 5-2. Batching Softkeys
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 setup
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

Note to the setpoint configuration.

5.11 Connecting a Barcode Scanner
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 accurate 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 port 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 Table 5-3.

The default baud rate is set for 9600 for both Counterpart and the scanner.
To set up barcode scanner parameters:
1. Navigate through the menu Setup >> Config >> Serial.
2. Set up the selected Port, J5 (Port 1) or J4 (Port 2) for the scanner.
3. Follow through and set up the various parameters such as 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, none parity.
4. Headers are set to ON under scanner sub-menu when needing to have headers for IDs, tare and unit
weights.
5. If the header is set to OFF, the Counterpart assumes that all scanned items are ID codes and part numbers.
Note ID codes are not functional when scanning ID codes.
Header Number Description Action

1 Unit Weight The scanned unit weight value updates the working ID and is also applied.
3 ID Code The scanned ID code is loaded.
4 Tare The scanned tare value updates the working ID and is also applied to the scale.
M Part Number The scanned part number updates the working ID and a Yes/No prompt is shown asking if the
stored ID should also be updated.

Scale Operations 71
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 OK. The OK response
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.
For example, to enter a 15 lb tare weight:
1. Type K1 and press ENTER (or RETURN).
2. Type K5 and press ENTER.
3. Type KTARE and press ENTER.

6.1.4 Clear and Reset Commands
The following commands can be used to clear and reset the Counterpart:
RS: Reset system. Resets the indicator without resetting the configuration.
RESETCONFIGURATION: Restores all configuration parameters to their default values (menu mode only). The
RESETCONFIGURATION function can also be initiated by pressing navigating to the DEFALT parameter under the
VERS menu and selecting YES. Then press ENTER to reset the indicator.
Note All load cell calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.
CLEARBUFFER: Clears the Weighvault data buffer.
6.1.5 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration
parameter.
Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in all modes using the following syntax:
command<ENTER>
Most parameter values can be changed in menu mode only.
Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values: command=value<ENTER>, where value is either
a number or a parameter value. Use no spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an incorrect command,
the display reads ??.
For example, to set the motion band parameter to 5 divisions, type the following:
SC.MOTBAND=5<ENTER>
For parameters with selectable values, enter the command and equal sign followed by a question mark:
command=?<ENTER> to see a list of those values. The indicator must be in menu mode to use this function.
Some parameters are valid only if other parameters or parameter values are specified. Restrictions for front-
Note panel configuration also apply to serial command configuration.

7.0 Print Formatting
The Counterpart provides nine print formats, GFMT, NFMT, TOTALFMT, PALFMT, CFMT, ACCFMT, SPFMT, HDRFMT1,
and HDRFMT2. These determine the format of the printed output when the PRINT key is pressed or when a KPRINT
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
panel (PFORMT menu), EDP commands, or the Revolution® configuration utility to customize the print formats.
Print formats are limited to 500 characters. The two header formats are limited to 100 characters

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
Note 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:
Format Default Format String Sample Output
H1 Company Name <NL> Street Address <NL> City, ST ZIP <NL2> Company Name, Street Address, City, ST ZIP
H2 Company Name <NL> Street Address <NL> City, ST ZIP <NL2> Company Name, Street Address, City, ST ZIP
Table 7-3. H1, H2 Formats

7.2 Customizing Print Formats
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® configuration utility.
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 TARE
(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:
Note 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
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.

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 user-
defined format. Custom formatting is very similar to the standard print formatting described in Section 7.0 on
page 79. Table 9-3 lists the format identifiers used to configure a custom stream format.

Appendix 93
9.6 Digital Filtering
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.

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 Figure 9-3).
The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the three filter stages:
DFLTR1 + DFLTR2 + 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) before digital filtering is suspended.
• 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.

9.6.3 Setting the Digital Filter Parameters
Fine-tuning the digital filter parameters greatly improves indicator performance in heavy-vibration environments.
Use the following procedure to determine vibration effects on the scale and optimize the digital filtering
configuration.
1. In menu mode, set all three digital filters (DFLTR1, DFLTRL2, DFLTR3) to 1. Set DFTHRH to NONE.
Return indicator to normal mode.
2. Remove all weight from the scale, then watch the indicator display to determine the magnitude of vibration
effects on the scale. Record the weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to
calculate the DFTHRH parameter value in Step 4.
For example, if a heavy-capacity scale produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with occasional
spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.
3. Place the indicator in menu mode and set the digital filters (DFLTRx) to eliminate the vibration effects on
the scale. (Leave DFTHRH set to NONE.) Reconfigure as necessary to find the lowest effective values for
the DFLTRx parameters.
4. With optimum values assigned to the DFLTRx parameters, calculate the DFTHRH parameter value by
converting the weight value recorded in Step 2 to display divisions:
threshold_weight_value / DSPDIV
In the example in Step 2, with a threshold weight value of 50 lb and a display division value of 5lb: 
50 / 5lb = 10DD. DFTHRH should be set to 10DD for this example.
5. Finally, set the DFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically
caused by lower vibration frequencies) will cause more consecutive out-of-band readings, so DFSENS
should be set higher to counter low frequency transients.
Reconfigure as necessary to find the lowest effective value for the DFSENS parameter.
9.6.4 Audit Trail Support
Audit trail support provides tracking information for configuration and calibration events. To prevent potential
misuse, all configuration and calibration changes are counted as change events.
Use the Audit menu or Revolution to display audit trail information. This includes the legally relevant (LR) version
number (software version for the code that provides audit trail information), a calibration count and a configuration
count.
Audit trail information can be printed from Revolution or by sending the DUMPAUDIT serial command.
Appendix 95
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.

Note
• 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>

Where:
<STX> STX character
<P> Polarity
<W7> Seven characters of net data with decimal pt
<U> Units
<M> Mode
<S> Status
<CR> Carriage return
Note that industrial serial scales (IND SC) do not require the <M>, <U> and <S> identifiers. However, the units
and number of decimal places must be specified. Units can be selected from the FORMAT menu; decimal places
should be indicated with a w-spec identifier. For example, a seven-digit weight reading requiring two decimal
places should be specified as <W7.2> rather than <W7>.
To change or match formats, use the same path to change formats.
9.9 Regulatory Mode Functions

The function of the front panel TARE and ZERO keys depends on the value specified for the REGULAT parameter
on the FEATURE menu. Table 9-5 describes the function of these keys for the NTEP, CANADA, OIML, and
NONE regulatory modes. TARE and ZERO key functions are configurable when the REGULAT mode is set to
INDUST (see Table 9-6 on page 97).

9.10 Regulatory Mode and Legal-for-Trade (LFT)

When REGULAT is set for NONE or INDUST there are no restrictions on displaying both the weight and piece
Note count data.
If the unit is going to be used in Legal for Trade applications, weight and piece count data cannot be displayed at
the same time. Use the following examples to use Counterpart in Legal for Trade applications.
9.10.1 Legal for Trade and Normal Weight Mode
When in a Legal for Trade mode (REGULAT = NTEP, OIML, or CANADA) and the unit is in normal weigh mode:
• If the weight is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set for
WEIGHT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the piece count and unit weight are not
displayed.
• If the piece count is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set
for COUNT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not displayed. The unit
weight will be displayed in the left display area.
• If the unit weight is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set
for UNITWEIGHT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not displayed. The
piece count will be displayed in the left display area.

9.10.2 Legal for Trade and Totalization Mode
When in Legal for Trade mode (REGULAT = NTEP, OIML, or CANADA) and the unit is in Totalization mode:
• If the weight is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set for
WEIGHT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the piece count and piece count total are not
displayed.
• If the piece count is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter being set
for COUNT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not displayed. The piece
count total will be displayed in the left display area.
• If the piece count total is displayed in the main area (either as a result of the DSPMODE parameter
being set for UNITWEIGHT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not
displayed. The piece count will be displayed in the left display area.
9.11 Updating Firmware

To update firmware of the Counterpart, you must have Revolution installed and a .hex file on your computer. Visit
www.ricelake.com to download this free configuration software and the latest .hex file.
If the hex file is the same version as is currently in the indicator, the firmware update will not reset the
Note configuration. This is helpful if the firmware becomes corrupt and you want to reload the same firmware.
However, it is always recommended that configuration be backed up in Revolution to avoid any data loss.
1. Unplug power to the Counterpart and remove top from the base of the unit.
2. Wire the serial cable to the Counterpart’s Port 1. Refer to Table 9-7 for cable connection settings.
