4-36 System Configuration and Setup
Table 4-8 Scale Setup Options
Command Description
Enable
Enables communication between the scale and the system computer,
allowing for automatic weight measurements. This is the recommended
setting for all systems equipped with an electronic scale.
Manual Entry
Enable this feature if your dispensing system is not equipped with an
electronic scale. You can perform a Measure Flow Rate by dispensing fluid
into a plastic cup, weighing the fluid on an independent scale, and manually
entering the value to calculate your flow rate.
Type
Most Asymtek dispensing systems are equipped with a DI-100 series scale
by Denver Instruments. Some dispensing systems are equipped with the
DI-104 model. Consult the manual for your particular dispensing system if
you are not sure which scale model is installed. If your dispensing system
is not equipped with a scale, click on the arrow next to this box and select
None.
Read Delay
Establishes a "wait" time between dispensing and reading the scale. This
can be done to ensure that the Scale outputs a "stable" reading, or to delay
the reading until the information is needed. The default setting is 3
seconds.
Stability Timeout
This is similar to Read Delay. The Scale will wait for a designated number
of seconds before outputting the weight to insure a "stable" reading. The
Scale will identify the measurement as "stable" or "unstable". If the Stability
Timeout elapses before a stable reading can be established, an error box
will appear. The default value is 10 seconds. Typical ranges are from 3 to
15 seconds.
Current Reading Weight of any fluid in the Scale Station cup.
Check for
Missing Cup
If this feature is activated, FmNT will check the Scale Station to make sure
a plastic cup is in the scale chamber before dispensing any fluid into the
chamber. If a cup is not in the scale chamber, a warning will be issued and
you must place a cup in the chamber before proceeding.
Zero Scale
This should be performed prior to taking an initial weight measurement, and
after replacing the cup in the scale chamber.
Reinitialization
Reestablishes communication between the system Computer and the
Scale.
To Zero the Scale:
1. Place a cup in the Scale Station chamber.
2. Click on
Zero Scale.
!This will adjust the Scale to allow for the weight of the cup.
