Preparation
You can set these parameters for other
devices in the Setup menu (see the chapter
entitled “Configuring the Balance/Scale”).
You will also find a detailed description
of the available data interface commands
in the file “Data Interface Descriptions for
ED, GK and GW Models”, which you can
download from the Sartorius website
(www.sartorius.com “Download Center”).
The many and versatile properties of these
balances/scales can be fully utilized for
printing out records of the results when you
connect your balance/scale to a Sartorius
data printer. The recording capability for
printouts makes it easy for you to work
in compliance with ISO/GLP.
