Chapter 4. MVS-STX
Menu Tree, Keyboard
Functions, and Quick Start
Introduction
This chapter describes the structure of the
MVS-STX menu system and how to use
the MVS keyboard to display and modify
parameters for:
• a stand-alone STX serially connected to an
MVS or
• an STX PCB installed in the MVS
Additionally, this chapter provides a list of steps
to get a ‘Quick Start’ using the MVS-STX.
Note
To access the menus, press the
Auto/Man Key to turn off the Auto LED.
Then, press the Menu Key.
Methods of Operation
The MVS has two methods of operation:
• Channel Monitoring — material weight
is displayed. Channel monitoring has
two modes:
— Auto Mode displays information on each
channel sequentially.
— Manual Mode displays information on
one channel. The Arrow Keys are used
to manually scroll to other channels.
Pressing the Auto/Man Key while channel
monitoring switches between the modes.
• Menu Operation — system parameters for
display, input/output, calibration, and
troubleshooting are viewed and modified.
Pressing the Menu Key while in Manual
Mode accesses Menu Operation.
Note
Throughout this manual, ‘weight’ is used
to refer to an indication of the quantity of
material in the vessel. However, the
MVS-STX can be set up to display
weight, level, volume, percentage,
voltage, etc. (see Chapter 5, MVS-STX
Display Menu). If using some measure
other than weight, all inputs must be
consistent with your chosen measure.

Menu Tree
The MVS-STX menu tree is used to view and
modify setup parameters and troubleshoot the
system. There are four submenus under the
Main Menu:
• Disp (Chapter 5) — set up display settings
• I/O (Chapter 6) — set up setpoint, current
output, serial port, remote tare, print, and
PLC interface parameters
• Cal (Chapter 7 ) — calibrate system
• Service (Chapter 8) — troubleshoot
system; display A/D counts; download
calibration to a new PCB; default STX;
enable/disable channel; adjust excitation,
resolution, gain, and active digits; select
analog or digital mode; set up filtering and
tracking; test setpoints; test and calibrate
current outputs; reset ID; test keyboard;
print setup information; rescan PCB and
slave devices; reset RAM; standardize STX
PCB; test serial communications; test
RAM; set up user access code and enter
K-M Mfg Code
The menu tree in Figure 4-1 is a quick reference
guide. The menu tree shows the Main Menu in
Level 1 and submenus in Levels 2 – 6. For
example, if you want to change setpoint
parameters, the menu tree shows that
setpoints are set up in the I/O Menu. Level 2
shows the submenus that display when I/O is
selected. Level 3 shows the submenus that
display when a selection is made from
Level 2, etc.
Chapters 5 through 8 provide detailed information
on the function and use of the Disp, I/O,
Cal, and Service Menus.
Note
Some submenus are not shown in
Figure 4-1 due to space constraints.
For example, if you select Disp in Level 1
and ScanT in Level 2, a menu appears
with several values to select from for
ScanT. For more details on submenus,
see the appropriate chapter in
this manual.
