The following are technical terms and its definitions used in this manual.
Actual Value Specified value on the Weight Certificate of an external weight. Independent of the balance model.
Actual Weight The actual weight recorded of the external weight.
Adjustment Setting of sensitivity on the balance. This requires at least a reference weight that is placed on the
balance manually or by a mechanically-driven device. This will be weighed and the obtained value will
be saved. The sensitivity of the balance will subsequently be corrected in order to obtain the required
measurement.
Adjustment Weight External weight for adjustment.
Calibration Checking of external weight and issuance of a certificate thereafter.
Control Limit Tolerance of a process relative to its target value. Violation of the tolerance is an infringement of the
quality requirements, and therefore requires a correction of the process.
Corner Load Deviation Deviation of weight value, caused by putting load not in the center of the platform.
Corner Load Test The aim of the EC Method (Eccentricity Test) is to ensure that any deviation due to eccentricity is within
the tolerances required by the user’s SOP. The result is set equal to the largest of the 4 calculated ec-
centricities.
External Adjustment Weight External weight for adjustment.
External Test Weight External weight used for testing of adjustment.
External Weight Retractable external adjustment or test weight.

GWPExcellence™ Collection of embedded safety functions for XS/XP Balances. The balance actively supports your
routine test requirements by prompting you to execute user guided test procedures, which you have
predefined.
GWP History Test history of tasks that where done based on the defined test sequence.
Internal Adjustment Weight Built-in weight for adjustment.
Internal Test Weight Built-in weight used for testing of adjustment.
Internal Weight Built-in weight.
Method A method describes the manner how a test is to be executed and formulates the core task of a test
sequence. The weights to be used and the corresponding test or method tolerances must be defined
as part of the method.
Method Tolerances Tolerance that defines how much margin of error is allowed for the end result of a method.
Minimum Weigh The smallest possible weight value that allows to fulfill the requirements of the relative precision
(MinWeigh).
ProFACT ProFACT (Professional Fully Automatic Calibration Technology) fully adjusts the balance automatically
based on a pre-defined temperature criteria.
Repeatability Capability of the balance to show consistent readings in repeated weighings using the same weight
and under the same external conditions.
Repeatability Test Checking of Repeatability.
Result Tolerances Tolerance that defines how much margin of error is allowed for the end result of a method.
Routine Checks Execution of different routine tests for balance checking.
Routine Test Routinely executed test.
