Minimum Load
The minimum load at initialization is
configured in the Application settings
(3.5: minimum load for automatic taring
and automatic printing; 3.6: minimum
load for automatic initialization).
You can choose from the following ten
levels for this setting:
1 digit (no minimum load)
2 digits
5 digits
10 digits
20 digits
50 digits
100 digits
200 digits
500 digits
1000 digits
The “digits" here refer to the weighing
platform intervals in the connected
weighing platform. If the interval
of the connected platform is 1 g, for
example, and 1000 digits are required,
you must place at least 1000 g
(= 1000 intervals = 1000 digits) on the
weighing platform for initialization.
If the interval of the connected platform
is 5 g, you have to place at least 5000 g
on the platform for initialization to
achieve the number of digits required
in the above example.
You can increase the resolution for
determining the reference weight
by changing the Application settings
for resolution (3.9) to use display
resolution + 1 decimal place, display
resolution + 2 decimal places, or
internal resolution. With the setting
for “Display resolution + 1 (2) decimal
place(s)", the resolution of the net value
is increased by one or two decimal
places; “Internal resolution" uses the
maximum resolution available in the
weighing platform.
Once the limit is exceeded by the load,
initialization can begin. If the load on
platform is too light for initialization,
the following will occur when you try
to initialize the application:
– The error inf 29 is displayed.
– A warning signal (double-beep)
is emitted
– The weighing platform is not initialized
– The preset reference value is stored
Neutral Measurement with Two
Weighing Platforms
You can use two weighing platforms
simultaneously with the Neutral
Measurement application. When using
two platforms, you can choose from
the following operating modes:
– Neutral Measurement with two
platforms of the same type
– Neutral Measurement with one
reference platform and one weighing
platform
Neutral Measurement with Two
Platforms of the Same Type
Use this mode to measure different
types of sample material with different
weights. For example, measure the
lighter-weight samples on one platform
and the heavier samples on the other.
After starting a counting routine on
one platform, press n to toggle to
the other platform, re-initialize the
application and begin a new measuring
operation.
You can define which of the two
platforms is active when the Combics
is switched on (8.11). This setting is
independent of automatic initializiation
of the Neutral Measurement application.
Neutral Measurement with
One Reference Platform and
One Weighing Platform
In this mode, the reference platform is a
high-resolution weighing platform with
a relatively low maximum capacity. The
other platform is used for measuring
large amounts, and has a high capacity
with a relatively low resolution.
This allows you to both determine
the reference sample quantity with
high resolution; i.e., very precisely,
and to measure large amounts of parts,
without requiring an expensive high-
resolution, high-capacity weighing
platform.
The system toggles automatically to
the reference platform for initializiation
(REF is displayed). Following initializa-
tion, the system toggles to the measur-
ing platform.
