Data Output
Your LA Reference balance is equipped
with an interface port for connecting
your choice of the following:
– Printer
– Peripheral device (e.g., computer)
– Universal remote control switch
Printer
You can configure the print functions
to meet your individual requirements by
selecting the corresponding
menu code.
You can have printouts generated auto-
matically, or by pressing r; depend-
ent on or independent of the stability or
time parameters; with or without IDs;
and as standard or ISO/GLP-compliant
printouts.
ISO: International Organization for
Standardization
GLP: Good Laboratory Practice
See the section on “Data Output
Functions” in the chapter entitled
“Operation” for a detailed description
of data output options.
Interface Port
Instead of a printer, you may choose to
connect a different peripheral device,
e.g. a computer (PC). With an on-line
PC you can control both the weighing
cell and the display unit of the
LA Reference balance.
Request messages are sent via the inter-
face to initiate functions in the weigh-
ing cell and in the display unit. Some of
the functions generate response mes-
sages.
See the chapter entitled “Operation”
under the section on “Data Output” for
a detailed description of the interface
port.
Error Codes
If you press a key that has no function,
or which is blocked at a certain point in
an application program, this error is
indicated as follows:
– a double-beep is sounded as an
acoustic signal if the key has no
function
– a double-beep is sounded and a
mes-
sage is displayed for 2 seconds
in the
text line if the key function is not avail-
able at that time
The response to an operator error
is identical in all models of the
LA Reference series. See the chapter
entitled “Error Codes” for a detailed
description.
