Calibration

Calibration Group

Lists calibration modes including automatic self-calibration, internal mass calibration, external weight calibration, and calibration tests.

Automatic Self Calibration (Calibration due to changes in temperature)

Automatically calibrates the balance when ambient temperature changes are detected, storing or outputting reports if GLP is enabled.

Calibration Using the Internal mass (One-Touch Calibration)

Calibrates the balance using its built-in internal mass with a single operation by pressing the CAL key.

Calibration Using an External Weight

Calibrates the balance using an external weight, allowing specification of the calibration weight value.

Calibration Test Using an External Weight

Tests the balance's weighing accuracy using an external mass and outputs the test results, available when GLP output is enabled.

Correcting the Internal Mass Value

Allows correction of the internal mass value to conform to an external weight, maintaining the corrected value in non-volatile memory.

Function Switch and Initialization

Permit or Inhibit

Describes five switches protecting parameters like calibration data and function settings, allowing permit or inhibit options to prevent careless operations.

Initializing the Balance

Resets various balance parameters, including calibration data, function table, and stored data, back to their factory settings.
