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 />

Manual Contents<br />

A brief description of the key sections of the<br />

manual follows:<br />
