Press to enter user inputs setup. If you do not wish to enter the UserIP top level menu, please return to 6.1C and use the and buttons to select a different top level menu item (or to exit the setup menu). User 1 input function scrolls across the bottom row, and the current selection appears in the top row. Use the and buttons to select a function for when the User 1 input pin is activated: None, StartLED, StopLED, Strt/Stp (start/stop), or Counter. Then press. If you selected None, StartLED, StopLED or Strt/Stp, skip to 6.4E now. If you selected Counter, proceed to 6.4C now. StartLED, StopLED and Strt/Stp functions can only be used for GS120 display models with a red/green traffic light segment. See Section 4 to wire your user input pins.

15 15 C D E F G Slow debounced counter scrolls across the bottom row, and the current setting appears in the top row. This feature is designed for counter inputs that are driven from a relay or mechanical switch, and should not be used for inputs that are driven from a solid state output. Use the and buttons to select either Yes or No, and then press. Relays or mechanical switches will often exhibit contact 'bounce' when the contacts open or close, which may cause false count pulses to be registered. In debounced counter mode, the GS120 will only accept an input pulse as valid if it remains active for 20ms or more. This limits the maximum frequency to 25Hz. Restore count at power on scrolls across the bottom row, and the current setting appears in the top row. Use the and buttons to select either Yes or No. If you enable this feature, the display will remember the last count value and continue counting after a power off/restart. Press to continue. User 2 input function scrolls across the bottom row, and the current selection appears in the top row. Use the and buttons to select a function for when the User 2 input pin is activated: None, StartLED, StopLED, Strt/Stp (start/stop), Cnt Dir (count direction), or Gate Cnt (gate count). Then press. StartLED, StopLED and Strt/Stp functions can only be used for GS120 display models with a red/green traffic light segment. Cnt Dir and Gate Cnt are count functions that are only available if Counter is selected as your User 1 input function in 6.4. See Section 4 to wire your user input pins. User 3 input function scrolls across the bottom row, and the current selection appears in the top row. Use the and buttons to select a function for when the User 3 input pin is activated: None, StartLED, StopLED, Strt/Stp (start/stop), or Rst Cnt (reset count). Then press. StartLED, StopLED and Strt/Stp functions can only be used for GS120 display models with a red/green traffic light segment. Rst Cnt is a count function that is only available if Counter is selected as your User 1 input function in 6.4. See Section 4 to wire your user input pins. UserIP appears in the top row, and Edit function scrolls across the bottom row. You are now back at 6.1C, and may select a new function to edit.

16 16 A APPENDIX A - SUMMING Summing is enabled when both Com 1 and Com 2 serial inputs are configured to receive serial strings. In this mode, the value shown on the display is the sum of the input values from Com 1 and Com 2. Although the counter mode is not intended to be used in conjunction with the serial inputs, if it is, the value of the counter will also be summed with the value of the serial input(s). Disabling Com 2 and the counter will automatically disable Summing mode. Appedix A notes A In Summing mode the decimal point and units information will be taken from the Com 1 string (if the display options are set to use decimal point and/or units information from the incoming strings). Care should be taken in Summing mode to ensure that both weighing instruments are outputting the same measurement scale.

17 17 APPENDIX - LAST RESORT The last resort option can be used when trying to connect the GS120 with an instrument which is not included in the device type list, or one which is using a custom output string. It allows the user to define key characters in the output string, which enables the GS120 to accurately extract the weight value from the string. Start of string character / 2nd character / 3rd character Many output strings contain a fixed start character at the beginning of the string. You may choose to either specify this start character, or select Ignore from the character options if the first character in the string is not constant. If the start character is specified, the GS120 will wait until it receives this character, and treat this as the start of the string. The second and/or third characters in the string may also be specified, if they are constant values, or set to Ignore if they are not fixed. The GS120 will check that all three leading characters match their values (if specified), before the string is accepted. Count from 1st character to start of weight string This option is usually used in conjunction with the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd characters from the start of the string. Once the start of the string has been detected, the user can specify where the weight information is in the string, by counting the number of characters from the 1st character to the start of the weight string. If this option is not applicable, select Ignore from the count options. Length of weight string This is used to specify the length of the weight string in characters, and should never be set to Ignore.

18 18 3rd character from end / 2nd character from end / End of string character Some output strings may have fixed end characters, as opposed to fixed start characters. In this case, the 3rd to last, 2nd to last and/or end character may be specified. Any/all of these characters may be set to Ignore if they are not fixed. The GS120 will check that all three end characters match their values (if specified), before the string is accepted. Count from end character back to start of weight string This option is usually used in conjunction with the End of string, 2nd to last, or 3rd to last character options. Once the end of the string has been detected, you may specify where the weight information is in the string by counting the number of characters back from the last character to the start of the weight string. If this option is not applicable, select Ignore from the count options. Last resort character & count options Character Ignore 01H 02H(STX) 03H(ETX) 04H 05H 06H 07H 08H 09H(TA) 0AH(LF) 0H 0CH 0DH(CR) 0EH 0FH 10H 11H 12H 13H 14H 15H 16H 17H 18H 19H 1AH 1H(ESC) 1CH 1DH 1EH 1FH 20H(SPC)! 22H # $ % & ' ( ) * +, -. / : ; < = A C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ 5CH ] ^ _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z Count { } 7EH 7FH Ignore

19 19 Appedix notes A When using Last Resort mode, ensure that the start or end characters(s) (or the sequence of characters that you choose) is unique in the string. If characters are repeated elsewhere in the string, this will cause unreliable results. If the only constant characters in the string are not the first (or last) 3 characters, then you may specify the constant character as the first (or last) in the string, even if in reality it is not. The GS120 will then treat this as the first (or last) character, and ignore any unwanted characters before (or after) it. As long as the distance between this character and the weight string remains constant, the string will still be accepted.
