  Counting Application Z
  With the Counting application, you can 
determine the number of parts which 
each have approximately equal weight.
 Characteristics
–  Save the reference weight “wRef” from 
the weighing platform

–  Enter the reference sample quantity 
“nRef” via the keypad
–  Enter reference sample weight using 
a barcode scanner
–  Automatic reference sample updating
–  Counting with two weighing platforms
–  Activate Info mode via the I key 
–  Toggle the display between quantity 
and weight via the W key
–  Define the level of accuracy (display 
resolution) applied when a calculated 
reference sample quantity is saved
–  Automatic taring of container weight.

–  Automatic initialization when the 
scale is switched on. The indicator is 
initialized with the most recently used 
values for reference sample quantity 
“nRef” and reference sample weight 
“wRef.” Configured in Setup under:

  The value of the reference sample 
weight in the reference memory remains 
active until the application is changed 
or the value is overwritten or deleted 
via the c key. The reference sample 
weight also remains saved after the 
scale is turned off.

  You can assign different functions to 
the c key for deleting applications. 
  When you clear applications, you can 
delete either the data stored for all 
applications or just the data stored for 
the active application. Configured in 
Setup under:
  APPl: sel.cf. 
(sel. 
CF function key c in 
applications)
–  Tare function:
1) If you store a tare (weight value) 
by pressing the ) key, you can later 
enter a value manually. The value you 
enter is added to the stored tare value. 
Setting: menu code 3.25.1 (factory 
setting)  
2) A value entered manually overwrites 
a stored tare value (weight value). If 
you enter a value manually, a tare value 
(weight value) stored later overwrites 
the manually entered value. Setting:

  Before the quantity on the platform 
can be calculated, the average piece 
weight (reference sample weight) 
must be entered in the application. 
There are three ways to enter this 
value in the program:
–  Calculation:
  –  Place the number of parts defined as 
the reference sample quantity on the 
weighing platform and calculate the 
average piece weight by pressing the 
O key.
  –  Alternatively, using the r key, you 
can place any number of parts on the 
weighing platform, enter the number 
of parts using the keypad, and then 
press the 
O key.
  How the reference weight is calculated 
depends on the application setting for 
resolution. The value is either rounded 
off in accordance with the display 
resolution, or saved with 10-fold 
or 100-fold resolution, or with the 
maximum internal resolution of the 
weighing platform.

 3 only:
–  Enter a reference sample weight (i.e., 
the weight of one piece) using the 
keypad and saving it with the 
O key.
–  Enter the reference sample weight using 
a barcode scanner. 
  After initialization, you can use the 
connected weighing platform to count 
parts.
  The initial application values remain 
active until deleted by pressing the c 
key or until overwritten by a new value. 
They remain saved after the scales are 
switched off.
