Operating instructions

Practical Example: Diameter Determination
Menu code settings used in the example:
Function Code
Diameter determination 2 1 7
Automatic output of
length and density 7 1 2
With data ID code 7 2 2
Application: Determination of the diameter of wires and metal filaments
(e.g., for tungsten or molybdenum)
Step/Key ID/Key Readout Data Output
Activate the parameter mode rHo
by pressing i >2 seconds 8.000 °mi
Enter density for filament
(in this case, tungsten):
19.25 19.25 mg
Store value in the non-volatile
memory by pressing STO - F
Zero the balance using t 0.000 mg
Place tungsten filament on pan; + 59.423 mg
close the draft shield
Enter filament length, e.g.,
200 (mm); store using 200 L + 200 mm
STO - F + 0.140 °mi RhoG + 19.25 g /
Print diameter by pressing p + 0.140 °mi Dia + 0.140 mm
Taggle to weight readout withw+ 59.423 mg
The data ID codes mean:
L + 200 mm length of filament
RhoG + 19.25 g / density of the object weighed (e.g., filament)
Dia + 0.140 mm calculated diameter
