How to Access the Menu
The Sartorius MC1 Balance can do much more than "just weigh."
It can "think" in various units of measure, adapt to unfavourable conditions and process weight data for a variety of
applications.
In the operating menu, you can define how your balance will adapt to ambient conditions and also how it will work to meet
your special requirements.
For your convenience, the menu codes have been factory-set so that you do not have to make any changes if you want to "just
weigh," and if your balance will be operated under normal ambient conditions.
To select specific functions, you will need to set the respective menu code.
This code tells the microcomputer inside the balance what it has to do to meet your requirements.
Here is a short example to help you understand how to set a menu code.
Just take a look at the picture below.
See the apple on one of the trees?
Now if you want to explain to somebody where this apple is located, you could number the trees, the main branches and the
small branches according to a certain pattern.
Then you could describe the location like this: the apple is on tree no. 3, main branch no. 1 and small branch no. 4. To express
this as a menu code, you'd say: 3 1 4.
Now that’s easy enough, isn't it?
