Figure 5 - 8.
The Trial Weight Screen.
• Stop the machine.
• On the Microlog, enter the Trial Weight, Angle and Radius for the trial weight you
are attaching to the machine.
 The Rotor Mass field is used if you wish to have the Microlog
estimate the trial weight. Reference the How to Estimate Trial
Weights section below for detail.
 Trial weights are typically attached at zero degrees (the trigger
reference).
 Unless you wish the Microlog to estimate a trial weight, the
Radius entry is not necessary, so long as you position the trial,
correction, and trim weights at the same radius.
 You can enter a negative number if the trial weight has been
removed instead of added.
• On the machine, carefully attach the precise weight at the precise angle and radius
specified. Balancing results depend greatly on the precision of your measurements
and actions.
