M5P
Purpose:
-
Interface with the M5P weigh room scale to obtain weights, zero the device, and manage shared memory for scale operations.
Enter:
-
M5P [n=ASC events base name] [m=minimum weigh time] [t=maximum weigh time] [s=stability requirement] [i=unique ID of scale]
Where:
-
n Optional. Specify the ASC events base name. The default is M5P. m Optional. Specify the minimum weigh time in seconds. The default is 5 seconds. t Optional. Specify the maximum weigh time in seconds. The default is 60 seconds. s Optional. Specify the stability requirement in micro-grams. The default is 5 micro-grams. i Optional. Specify a unique scale identifier. The default is S1.
Example:
M5P n=M5P m=5 t=60 s=5 i=S1 &
The above example starts the task for an M5P scale with 5 seconds as the minimum weigh time, 60 seconds as the maximum weigh time, and 5 micrograms as the stability requirement. M5P starts an ASC task using M5P within the event names. The /cell/M5P.cfg specification file is also read for handling commands to and from the M5P scale.
Notes:
-
Ensure that the minimum weigh time does not exceed the maximum weigh time as the program will reverse them if necessary.
