Neutral Measurement D
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 weigh-
ing platforms
– Neutral measurement with one refer-
ence 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 another.
You can define which of the two plat-
forms is active when the Combics is
switched on. This is configured in
Setup, under:
Device: Operat.: Main
scale
This is the first platform active when
you switch on the Combics, regardless
of the setting for automatic initializa-
tion of the Neutral Measurement appli-
cation.
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 weighing
heavier samples, and has a high capaci-
ty with a relatively low resolution.
This allows you to both determine the
reference weight with high resolution;
i.e., very precisely, and to measure large
samples, without requiring an expensive
high-resolution, high-capacity weighing
platform.
The system can be configured to switch
automatically to the reference platform
for initialization (the measured value
line shows
Ref). Following initializa-
tion, the platform for larger amounts
is automatically activated.
The definition of one weighing plat-
form as a reference platform is config-
ured in Setup, under:
