Q-Guide Operating Concept
The Cubis precision and analytical balances are controlled by application software
with interactive operator guidance. Once you open a menu or select an application,
brief instructions shown on the display will guide you through the menu or
application step-by-step. At each step along the way, the display shows only those
options that are relevant to your process; this helps prevent unnecessary “detours”
and enables you to reach your goal more quickly.
Although operation of the balance is for the most part intuitive, this manual
includes a section with very detailed, step-by-step instructions where you can learn
about all of the available options (see “Create a user profile” in the chapter entitled
“User Management”).
Basic Operational Structure
The most basic functions, weighing and taring, can be carried out as soon as the
balance is switched on. The application software is divided into three general areas
in which individual settings can be configured:
The Task Management area under (TASK) incorporates numerous preconfigured
applications that can be selected and executed directly. For more complex
requirements, separate tasks can be configured as needed.
The User Management area under (USER) lets you set up user profiles with specific
sets of configuration settings and user rights. You can also set up password
protection to meet your security requirements. If you do not require the user
management features, simply leave this area unconfigured; the balance can be
operated without defining any users.
