Chapter 1. Introduction<br />
Status LED<br />
The Status LED functions as follows:<br />
• Material/zero tracking disabled — The<br />
LED toggles at every A/D conversion,<br />
serial communication, or communication<br />
with the MVS microprocessor, as<br />
applicable.<br />
• Material/zero tracking enabled — If<br />
material in the vessel is in motion (rate of<br />
change is greater than threshold rate),<br />
the LED toggles at every A/D conversion,<br />
serial communication, or communication<br />
with the MVS microprocessor, as<br />
applicable. If material in the vessel is<br />
stable (rate of change is less than<br />
threshold rate), the LED remains on <strong>and</strong><br />
does not toggle.<br />
Note<br />
See Chapter 3, St<strong>and</strong>-Alone <strong>STX</strong><br />
Analog Calibration <strong>and</strong> Setup, or<br />
Chapter 8, MVS-<strong>STX</strong> Service Menu, for<br />
details on material/zero tracking.<br />
Transmit (TX) LED <strong>and</strong><br />
Receive (RX) LED<br />
The Transmit <strong>and</strong> Receive LEDs toggle when<br />
communicating with a serial device to reflect<br />
an incoming request (RX) from a host <strong>and</strong> the<br />
response (TX) from the slave.<br />
