2.4 The firmware for your balance
The firmware controls all functions of your balance. In addition, it enables the balance to be adapted to your specific working environ-
ment. Please note the following explanations. They provide the basis for operating your balance.
The firmware consists of the following components:
– User profiles
– User-specific settings
– Applications
– Application-specific settings
– System settings
User profiles
User profiles can be used to adapt the balance and its applications to personal work techniques or to particular
weighing tasks. A user profile is a collection of settings, which you can define yourself and which are available
at the touch of a button. When the balance is switched on, the last active user profile is loaded automatically.
The “Home” profile is a starting point, to which you can return at any time by pressing the «A» key. It contains
factory-set standard settings, with which every user can work. These presettings can of course be changed.
However, we recommend that you do not change the default settings of the “home” profile, but rather make
modifications to the 7 other user profiles.
In addition to the “Home” profile, a total of 7 other user profiles are available, whose settings can be changed
to suit your requirements. The «B» key can be used to call up the desired user profile. All settings that are made
while a particular user profile is active are stored under this profile. These include application-specific settings
and user-specific settings but not system settings (see below).
Access authorizations for the user profiles can be defined using the security system of your balance (see section
2.6) to protect them against unauthorized changes.
Applications
Applications are firmware modules for carrying out specific weighing tasks. The balance is supplied with different
applications ex works (e.g. for normal weighing, statistics, formulation, piece counting, percent weighing, density
determination, and dynamic weighing). After it has been switched on, the balance loads the last active user
profile and the application with which the user has last worked. The applications are available under the «D»
key. Notes on working with standard applications can be found in section 5ff.
User-specific settings
These settings, which are available under the «C» key, can be used to adapt the balance to the tasks and work
techniques of the current user. The settings can be defined separately for each of the 7 user profiles and “home”
profile. When a user profile is called up, the relevant user-specific settings are loaded automatically.
