Operating the Scale
Animal Weighing C
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g.,
live animals) or to determine weights
under unstable ambient conditions.
In this program, the scale calculates
the weight as the average of a
defined number of individual
weighing operations. These
weighing operations are also known
as “subweighing operations.”
You can use this application program
in combination with a program
chosen from Application 2
(checkweighing, time-controlled
functions) and one from Application 3
(totalizing, formulation, statistics).
Available Features
– Animal weighing started manually
or automatically
– Automatic start:
– when a defined threshold has
been exceeded (Minimum
load threshold: None; 10;
20; ...; 500; 1,000 display
increments)
– when three successive
subweights lie within a user-
defined tolerance range (calm;
normal; active; 0.1%; 0.2%;
...; 50%; 100% of the
animal/object)
– Manual start:
– also possible when the load
is under the minimum load
threshold
– when three successive
subweights lie within a user-
defined tolerance range (calm;
normal; active; 0.1.%; 0.2%;
...; 50%; 100% of the
animal/object)
– Optional scale configuration in
the Setup menu for automatically
initializing this application when
you turn on the scale
(Setup: Printout: Auto-start applica-
tion when power goes on: On)
– Number of weighing operations
for calculation of an average
(
mDef) can be set before
the beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The factor for calculation
of the result can be set before
the beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The number of subweighs
remaining to be performed is
indicated in the text display
during weighing
– Arithmetic average displayed as
a result in the pre-set weight unit
(identified by the a symbol).
– Optional multiplication of the
arithmetic average by a user-
defined factor
Mul.
A circle “
o” is displayed as
weight unit and
Mul = xxx
is shown in the text line
– Toggling between the weight
and the calculated value by
pressing the
xNet soft key and
the
xRes soft key
– Automatic output of results via the
interface port:
– Number of weighing
operations
mDef
– Multiplication factor Mul
– Automatic output of results
(printout) via the interface port:
– Weighing result
xNet
– Calculated result xRes
The following options have to
be set: Printout: Application-
defined output: Auto print upon
initialization: All values
– The unload threshold is
equal to one-half the minimum
scale capacity
– Return to weighing mode
by unloading the scale; i.e.,
when the load is below the
unload threshold

Soft Key Functions
New Automatic start:
– Unload scale and
weigh next animal,
if desired
– Press key to start
next subweigh
Manual start:
Start next subweigh
mDef Store user-defined number
of subweighs for
averaging
Mul Store user-defined factor
as multiplication factor for
calculated the arithmetic
mean
xNet Toggle to the animal
weighing application
xRes Toggle to the calculated
animal weighing result
Start Activate Animal weighing
Printout for Animal Weighing
Upon completion of the averaging
process, you can have the results
printed out automatically. You can
also have both the weight and the
calculated result printed.
