•  By the means of computer keyboard of the USB type 
A computer keyboard of USB type can be connected to a balance, this enables easier and 
quicker editing of the printouts.  
Willing to insert any text, it is necessary to select a respective menu option and, using the 
keyboard, type the text. Next the text must be confirmed by means of Enter button. 
 
CAUTION: It is important to type variables, used for non-standard printouts, in capital letters. 
8.4. VARIABLES 
Variable is defined as alphanumeric data which can be linked to printouts, products or other 
information related to weighing. Every variable is characterized by its content, the content must be 
given. Variables are used for entering various data during the weighing process, e.g. serial number or 
batch number. The program allows to enter two variables. Each can consist of max 32 characters.  
In order to input a variable content, the user needs to enter variable  settings (parameter P5.9 – 
VARIABLE 1 or P5.10 – VARIABLE 2) and enter the respective values using direction keys (arrows) 
on the balance keypad or a computer keyboard. Procedure for entering texts is the same as for non-
standard printouts.  
8.5. SEPARATOR 
Balance program enables selecting separator type for mass indication that is printed out. 
 
Options:  
•  DOT --. -- 
•  COMMA --,-- 
 
By default the separator value is <DOT>. The mass value is printed with a dot as a decimal point 
(e.g. 5.45 g). If the separator value is set to <COMMA>, the mass value is printed with a comma as a 
decimal point (e.g. 5.45 g). 
9.  DATABASES 
The balance software has 3 databases that can be edited (USERS, PRODUCTS, TARES) as well as 
2 databases (WEIGHINGS AND ALIBI), to which all the measurements, carried out by means of the 
balance, are saved. 
 
Data saved within particular databases: 
USERS – 10 different users.  
PRODUCTS – 1000 different products.  
TARES – 10 different masses of the packaging. 
WEIGHINGS – 5 000 consecutive measurements
