4.3 The software on your balance
The software controls all the functions of your balance. It also makes it possible to adapt the balance to your specific working
environment. Please read the following sections carefully; they form the basis for operating your balance.
The software comprises the following levels:
User profiles
Applications
Settings
User profiles
The purpose of user profiles is to adapt the balance and its applications to your personal way of working, or
to specific weighing tasks. A user profile is a collection of settings which you can define yourself and which
are available to you at a keystroke.
When the balance is switched on, it automatically loads the Home profile. The Home profile is a starting
point to which you can return at any time by touching the «3» key. Before leaving the factory it has been
programmed with standard settings which all users can work with.
As well as the Home profile, 8 other user profiles are available in which you can change the settings at will.
(Two of the user profiles have been programmed at the factory for very fast and very accurate weighings and
have been given the corresponding names Fast and Accurate). You can use the «4» key to call up the
desired user profile.
Note: The Home profile can be changed at will in the same way as the 8 other profiles. However, we
recommend you not to change the settings in the Home profile that were made at the factory, but to change
one of the other 8 user profiles instead.

Applications
Applications are software modules for carrying out specific weighing tasks. A number of applications are
loaded onto the balance before it leaves the factory (e.g. for normal weighing, percent weighing, piece
counting, and density determination). When the balance is switched on, it starts the application for normal
weighing. The other applications can be accessed with the «6» key. You will find instructions for working with
the standard applications in Chapter 6 and subsequent chapters. You can also download additional
applications from the Internet if required (see Chapter 10).
Settings
The software differentiates between two sorts of settings:
Application-dependent settings: The range of available settings differs depending on the application
selected. The multi-page menu for application-dependent settings can be accessed with the «7» key. You
will find information about the individual settings that are possible in the chapters relating to the respective
applications.
System settings which are not application-dependent (e.g. the dialog language setting): The range of
available settings of this type is the same in all applications. To call up the system settings touch the «7»
or «6» key and then the System button. You will find information about the individual settings that are
possible in Chapter 5.
Both types of setting are assigned to the currently active user profile and stored with it.
