The “Differential Weighing” Application

12.4 Defining, Editing, Deleting, and Selecting a Series
Before you can perform differential weighing, you must define at least one series with at least one sample.
Note: When the application is started, the balance checks that at least 1 series exists. If no series is defined, the application automati-
cally generates series 1.
Press the «E» key and select the menu for defining a series (on the first menu page). This
menu contains options for creating a new series, and for editing or deleting an existing
series. In the final menu option, you can select the series with which you want to work.
These options are explained in more detail in the following sections.
12.4.1 Defining a New Series
Choose “Series....New”. In this submenu, you can define a new series. The following options are available:
“Designation”: Opens an alphanumeric input field in which you can enter a
name for the series (max. 20 characters). The series are num-
bered consecutively as a factory default setting (“series x”).
You can change the default text to a name of your choice.
“No. of samples”: Opens a numeric input field in which you can define the number
of samples in the series.
Note: The balance can manage a maximum of 500 samples.
For one series, a maximum of 500 samples minus the number
of samples already used is therefore available. If you enter a
value that exceeds the number of available samples, a cor-
responding error message is displayed (this may take some
time).
“Procedure”: You can choose between an automatic or manual procedure
for differential weighing. In automatic processing, the balance
guides you through each step of differential weighing for every
sample (taring, weighing in, re-weighing). For more information,
see section 12.5.3. In manual processing, you can specify the
order in which you want to process the samples (see section
12.5.4).
“Sample ID”: Each new sample is automatically assigned a standard name
and a consecutive number (“Sample x”). You can use the
alphanumeric input field to change this to a name of your
choice (max. 20 characters).
Note: If you have activated the function key with the same
name, you can also change the sample names directly without
having to use the menu.
