15. WORKING MODES – general information
A balance 3Y series in its standard version features the following working
modes:
Weighing
Means of operation: weight of a load is determined through an
indirect measurement. A balance measures gravitational force
which attracts the load. An obtained result is processed to a
digital format and displayed in a form of measurement result.
Parts counting
Means of operation: based on a determined mass of a single
part it is possible to count another parts, assuming that mass
of a single part is determined with sufficient accuracy, and that
the following parts are equal in mass.
Checkweighing
Means of operation: control of sample mass with applied
thresholds. A user should specify the value of low threshold
<LO> and high threshold <HI>.
Dosing
Means of operation: a user should specify sample’s target
mass to be obtained by pouring.
Percent setup
Means of operation: control of percent ratio of a sample in
relation to a standard (reference). Obtained data provides
percent ratio on how test sample differs from the accepted
standard (reference).
Density
Means of operation: based on Archimedes principle, a balance
determines density of solids and liquids. The mode requires an
optional density determination kit.
Animal weighing
Means of operation: mass measurement takes place with
application of filters dampening animal moves on a weighing
pan, thus enabling obtaining a correct measurement result.
Formulation
Means of operation: by adding a sequence of ingredients, a
user can prepare an optional mixture or formulation. Before
mixing balance software requires designing a formulation by
specifying its ingredients and their mass.
Statistics
Means of operation: carried out measurements are used to
calculate statistical data, such as Min, Max, deviation, etc.
