Real-Time Payload Meter II™ Monitor Program Originally, this program was designed for engineering testing purposes only. It was not designed for general distri- bution or use. This program sets the Komatsu Mining Systems Payload Meter II™ into real-time data transfer mode. This allows the technician to monitor all inputs into the system. Scope also allows for the logging of this real-time data. These files can be used to analyze the inputs over a period of time. Scope is used to record suspension pressures during a haul cycle. These pressures can be imported into Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet programs to graph each suspension.
Visually, a service technician can look for flat or undercharged suspensions. In addition, all the input to the payload meter can be checked using the PC instead of the switches on the front panel of the payload meter System Requirements - Microsoft Windows 95, access to serial communications port 1, EF9159 & EF9160 har- nesses to connect the Payload Meter II™ to the serial port of the PC.
