Special Weights
Threshold
Threshold is the weight at which the program recognizes that a truck is on the scale. A transaction will not be stored unless a truck is on the scale. Threshold is also used frequently in unattended operations.
Tolerance
Tolerance is the weight at which the program recognizes movement on the scale. In most cases, the scale indicator will supply a flag or bit that is used to determine motion. Some indicators do not. In these cases, the program will determine scale motion using the tolerance value. Transactions cannot be stored while the scale is in motion.
Zero Band
Zero Band is only used in unattended mode transactions. It is the weight about zero at which the program will automatically zero the scale. The scale must stabilize within this band and a auto zero command must be defined for the scale port before the zeroing takes place.
