NOTE ENABLE?
This menu allows three options to individual note denominations ON, OFF and NO SCROLL.
If a note is ON it will be selectable via the button and will be included in any auto-scroll sequence.
If a note is OFF it will not be selectable via the button and will not appear in the auto-scroll sequence.
If a note is NO SCROLL it will be selectable via the button and will not appear in the auto-scroll sequence.
This feature along with the duplicate set of notes marked with a * provides future proofing where notes of the same
denomination but of a different weight enter and/or leave circulation and where a pre-set number of completely new
denominations enter circulation. It will also allow you to switch OFF specific denominations that you may not count in
your operation or to remove them from the auto scroll sequence when they are rare.
As and when there may be a requirement to use the above configuration option due to the above scenarios further
instructions will be added to the Volumatic website.

range 0.500g and 9.999g.
It is important to note that if the centre weight is changed the internal learnt weight is automatically reset to the same as
the new centre weight so any learning that has previously taken place is forgotten. This option offers future proofing
where there are changes to existing note weights and for new note weights to be set up.
