11.6.2.  Setting the Reference Mass: Entering Mass Value 
Procedure: 
•  Press F button to which function <ENTER SAMPLE> is assigned, <ENTER SAMPLE> editing 
window is displayed.  
 
•  Use arrow buttons to enter the known reference mass value, press   button to confirm. 
•  The software automatically enters <PERCENT WEIGHING> mode displaying the value of 
0.000%, the bottom line displays entered reference mass value (if such an option has been 
selected for <INFORMATION> function).  
 
 
11.7. ANIMAL WEIGHING 
Animal Weighing mode enables reliable determining of mass of objects that is in motion. In principle, 
objects in motion generate unstable measurement, thus Animal Weighing mode requires using a 
different filtering method of measurement signal.   
 
11.7.1.  Additional Settings 
Apart from standard settings for this mode (i.e. weighing mode settings) some additional parameters 
have been designed to describe operation of the mode.  
Additional settings list: 
•  AVERAGING TIME  –  Amount of time during which recorded measurement results are 
analysed. Obtained data is used to determine average measurement result. 
•  THRESHOLD - It is a value expressed in mass measuring units. In order to start measurement, 
the indication value has to exceed the set threshold value.  
•  AUTOSTART - Determines start criterion for measurements: whether they are to be initiated 
manually, on pressing a button or selecting START, or automatically.   
When the parameter is set to <YES> option, the measurement starts automatically if an 
indication on a balance display exceeds the set threshold value. The following measurement 
can start on removing the weighed object from a  balance pan (the indication has to return 
below the value set in the threshold), and on loading the pan with a new object at a moment 
when the set threshold value indication is exceeded. 
 
Prior to tests it is necessary to adjust settings of the above options so that correct values  were 
provided. The selected options shall be respective to needs and expectations resulting from working 
environment.
