Changing the APW Quantity Feature
The APW quantity feature is used to change the storage method of the APW. Normally, the APW, or Aver-
age Piece Weight, represents the average weight of a single piece. Using the APW Quantity feature, the
APW can be made to represent the weight of a number of pieces. Thus, if the need is to count dozens of
pieces, set the APW quantity to 12 and the APW displayed and printed will be the weight of a dozen pieces.
The APW mode sets the behavior of the scale when a new part is counted. The following APW quantity
modes are available:
Mode 1: APW Single Piece Mode
APWs are always entered and reported as the average piece weight of a single piece determined
by dividing the number of pieces in a sample into the total sample weight.
Mode 2: APW Quantity Mode
APWs are always entered and reported as the net weight of a pre-determined quantity of pieces.
This quantity is set using the SET NO./PIECES soft key. For example, when using an APW Quantity
of 1000, the scale will treat the entered APW value as the net weight of 1000 pieces and will use
this value to determine the total count from the weight on the pan.
Mode 3: APW Variable Quantity Mode
Similar to the APW Quantity Mode, this selection sets the scale’s default entry and reporting of the
APW to be based upon the net weight of a specific quantity, but allows the scale to receive APWs
through the RS232 port (from bar codes or from a PC) that are defined using the net weight of a
different number of pieces. The scale will temporarily use the net weight of a different number of
pieces received through the RS232 port until the RESET key is pressed. For example, in this mode a
scale set up for entry of APW 1000 will allow the use of APWs entered as the net weight of one
piece if the APW is scanned from a bar code label. By pressing RESET, the scale will revert back to
accepting keyboard entry of APW 1000.
