No more than one of the four application modes, Auto Print (13.4), Interval
Timer (13.5), Add-on Mode (13.6), Formulation Mode (13.7), can be set
ON at the same time.
x The [O/T] key can always be used for taring.
x In interval timer standby status, pressing the [POWER] key puts the balance
in power standby status.
x Using the interval timer function for long periods of time may generate
measurement errors due to drift of the balance.
x Short interval settings may not operate properly, depending on the capability
of the device receiving the data. In this case, increase the length of
the interval.
x During use of the interval timer function, keep PSC (10.3.2) and Clock-
CAL (10.3.3) functions off.
x Do not perform any type of calibration while using interval timer function.
13.6 Add-on Mode
This function is convenient for making many measurements of minute samples. In this mode
with any unit, when the displayed value is within ±5 counts of zero, and an item of mass of 10
counts or more is placed on the pan, that value is output via the RS-232C cable or DATA I/O
connector upon display stability and automatic taring is done each time afterwards.
This is repeated newly every subsequent time a new sample is placed on the balance.
(In the CAUW/CAUX/CAUY series, when the minimum display digit has been eliminated
by pressing the [1d/10d] key, the evaluation is based on the count number displayed before.)
Pressing the [POWER] key stops the Add-on function. When stopped, the measurements up
to that point are summed up and displayed. When the optional printer or computer are
connected, the startup is printed out as “--------- ADDON MODE ---------” and upon stop,
the total is printed out as “TOTAL=”.
