Operating instructions

The “Dynamic Weighing” application
135
Net weight symbol
In the standard output format, net weights are identified with “N”. In this menu, you can
activate and deactivate this function, and also define the field length (1 – 10 characters).
The net symbol is aligned left-justified in the field. Note: If the balance has not been tared,
the net symbol is not transmitted, and space characters corresponding to the selected
field length are transmitted instead.
Factory setting: Net weight symbol deactivated (“Off”).
Field length 5 characters.
Format of the weight value
For formatting the weight value, the following options are available:
“Field length”: Total length of the data field for the weight value including
sign, decimal point, and decimal places (1 – 20 characters).
Note: Irrespective of your setting, enough characters are always
output for the weight value that is displayed on the terminal
to be completely transmitted. The weight value is output right-
justified. Factory setting: 10.
“No. of dec. digits”: Number of decimal places (0 – 6 characters). If the value that
is set is less than the number of decimal places displayed on
the terminal, a rounded value with the selected number of
decimal places is transmitted. Factory setting: Max. number
of decimal places of the balance.
“Sign”: When set to “Always”, the weight value is always preceded by a
plus or minus sign. If you select “Neg. values”, negative values
will be preceded by a minus sign, but positive values will be
transmitted without a sign. Factory setting: “Neg. values”.
“Sign position”: You can use this setting to specify whether the sign should
be immediately in front of the weight value (right justified) or
with a gap in between (left justified). Factory setting: Right
justified (immediately in front of the weight value).
Field for the weight unit
In the standard output format, each weight value is output with the corresponding weight
unit (corresponding to the current display unit). In this menu, you can choose whether
weight units should be transmitted with or without unit and also specify the field length
for the weight unit (1 – 5 characters). Irrespective of your setting for the field length,
enough decimal places will be output for the weight value shown on the terminal to be
completely transmitted. The weight unit is output left-justified (separated from the weight
value by a space character).
Factory setting: Output of the weight unit is activated.
Field length 3 characters.
