The “Differential Weighing” Application
154
If the results for one sample take up several windows, you can use the scroll buttons at
the bottom left of the screen to switch between the individual results windows.
“Diff.% 1”: Difference between initial weigh-in and 1st residual weight
of the sample as a percentage of the initial weight (weigh-in
value)
“Abs.% 1”: Residual weight value as a percentage of the weigh-in value
“Atro AM 1”: Moisture content of the sample as a percentage of the dry
weight
“Atro AD 1”: Wet weight of the sample as a percentage of the dry weight.
Note: The formulae used to calculate the above results are provided in section 12.6.
12.5.4 Differential Weighing: Manual Procedure
The manual procedure is essentially the same as the automatic procedure for differential weighing, except that you determine the
sequence in which you want to process the samples. The preparatory steps are the same for both methods.
When you start differential weighing with the “T & wgh. in” function key (tare and weigh in ), a selection window is displayed. Here you
can select the sample for which you want to perform taring and weighing in.
In contrast to the automatic procedure, when an operating step is called, the application does not automatically display the first sample
for which no value is yet available. Instead, you must select the sample that you want to process.
Unlike the automatic procedure, the balance provides no further guidance through the process after taring and weighing in the first
sample, and the process is not automatically restarted. You can then either tare and weigh in additional samples, or perform residual
weighing for the first sample immediately (function key “Residual wgh.”). The selection window for samples is also displayed in residual
weighing.
Note: In the sample selection window, only those samples for which the current procedure has not already been performed are dis-
played.
12.5.5 Printing the Results of Differential Weighing
The result of the current differential weighing can be printed using the «F» key. Depending on your settings, either the selected sample
or the whole series is printed. The following is an example printout with some explanations.
If you selected the “Sample” setting in the “Print Key” menu, (section 12.3.5), pressing
the «F» key prints the result of differential weighing for a single sample.
Before printing, a selection window is displayed. Here you can select the sample whose
values you want to print. A sample printout is illustrated here.
The settings you make in the “Protocol” menu control which information is printed (section
12.3.4). The protocol opposite is based on the factory default settings.
If you selected the “Series” option in the “Print Key” menu (section 12.3.5), the values
for all samples in the current series are printed.
