The maximum weight is the highest weight that will be accepted in a record. If the weight
is above the maximum, the following message will appear after WEIGH is pressed:
ABOVE MAX. WEIGHT
CANNOT STORE RECORD
After setting the maximum weight, exit to the normal operating mode by pressing DRAFT
LIMITS or ENTER.
DRAFTING BY WEIGHT GAIN
If Auto or Manual Weight Gain is selected in SET-UP, a choice of drafting modes will
appear when DRAFT LIMITS is pressed:
1. DRAFT BY WEIGHT
For normal drafting according to the weight ranges set by the Draft Limits.
2. DRAFT BY WEIGHT GAIN
To draft an animal according to the weight gained since a previous weighing. The
amount of weight gained is compared with the Gain Limits, to determine whether the
gain is H (high), C (centre) or L (low), as shown on the large display alongside the
animal's weight.
3. DRAFT BY GAIN / DAY
To draft an animal according to the average daily weight gain since a previous
weighing. The average daily weight gain is compared with the Gain/Day Limits, to
determine whether it is H (high), C (centre) or L (low), as shown on the large display
alongside the animal's weight.
Having selected the required drafting mode, press DRAFT LIMITS or ENTER to accept.
Depending on the drafting mode, the value of Draft Limit 1, Gain Limit 1 or Gain / Day 1
will be displayed and a new value may be entered. The Gain or Gain/Day Limits may also
be changed to negative values by pressing the key, allowing drafting by weight loss.
When drafting by Weight Gain or Gain / Day, when the animal has been weighed the
display will show the amount of gain (or loss) and the number of days since the earlier
weighing. To show the weight gain / day, press the key.
Note that when drafting by Weight Gain or Gain / Day, no draft statistics are available.
“What If” Drafting Statistics
Since statistics are recalculated every time they are accessed, the user may change the
draft limits and re-examine the drafting statistics to determine how many animals would
have been drafted into each weight range with different settings.
Automatic Drafting Option
When the Auto-Draft option is enabled in SET-UP, an additional setting for Drafting
Direction appears when the DRAFT LIMITS key is pressed. See Section 10: AUTO-
DRAFTING for full details.
