Operating the Scale
Animal Weighing C
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g.,
live animals) or to determine weights
under unstable ambient conditions.
In this program, the scale calculates
the weight as the average of a
defined number of individual
weighing operations.
You can use this application in
combination with any program
chosen from Application 2
(checkweighing, time-controlled
functions) and one from Application 3
(totalizing, formulation, statistics).
Features
– Animal weighing started manually
or automatically
– Automatic start:
– when a defined threshold has
been exceeded (minimum
load threshold: 10; 20; ...;
500; 1,000 digits)
– when three successive sub-
weights lie within a user-defined
tolerance range (calm; normal;
active; 0.1%; 0.2%; ...; 50%;
100% of the animal/object)
– Manual start:
– also possible when the load is
under the minimum load threshold
– when three successive sub-
weights lie within a user-defined
tolerance range (calm; normal;
active; 0.1.%; 0.2%; ...; 50%;
100% of the animal/object)
– Optional scale configuration in the
Setup menu for automatically
initializing this application when
you turn on the scale (Setup:
Application parameters: Auto-start
application when power goes on:
On)
– Number of weighing operations
for calculation of an average
(
mDef) can be entered before the
beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The factor for calculation of the
result can be set before the
beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The number of subweighing
operations remaining to be
performed is indicated in the text
display during weighing
– Arithmetic average displayed as
a stable result in the pre-set weight
unit (identified by the a symbol)
– Optional multiplication of the
arithmetic average by a user-
defined factor
Mul.
A circle o is displayed as the
weight unit and
Mul = xxx is
shown in the text line
– Toggling between the animal
weight and the calculated value by
pressing the
xNet soft key and
the xRes soft key
– Automatic output of results via the
interface port:
– Number of weighing
operations
mDef
– Multiplication factor Mul
– Automatic output of results (printout)
via the interface port:
– Weighing result
xNet
– Calculated result xRes
The following options have to
be set: Printout: Application-
defined output: Auto print upon
initialization: All values
– The unload threshold is equal to
one-half the threshold for the
minimum scale capacity
– Return to weighing mode by
unloading the scale; i.e., when the
load is below the unload threshold

Soft Key Functions
New Automatic start:
– Unload scale and
weigh next animal,
if desired
– Press key to start
next subweigh
Manual start:
Start next subweighing
mDef Store user-defined number
of subweighing operati-
ons for averaging
Mul Store user-defined factor
as multiplication factor for
calculated the arithmetic
mean
xNet Toggle to the animal
weight
xRes Toggle to the calculated
animal weighing result

Printout for Animal Weighing
Upon completion of the averaging
process, you can have the results
printed out automatically. You can
also have both the weight and the
calculated result printed.
