Appendix F • Super II 126
Macro A series of preprogrammed scale functions that are initiated by a keypress, and by
means of display prompts, will guide an operator through a weighing or counting
operation.
Menu Refers to the numerous choices presented in the display as labels for the soft key. Also,
the hard key that provides access to additional scale features.
Minimum The setting expressed as a percentage that determines the smallest sample weight
Accuracy required to count uniform parts with an error that is no larger than that selected.
Net Weight The weight of the contents of a container, without the weight of the container.
Parity A bit used to check the validity of the data word.
Precision The degree to which a weight measurement deviates from the average of repeated
measurements, usually expressed as one standard deviation (or one sigma).
QWERTY Term used to describe the typical keyboard found on a personal computer or type
writer. QWERTY refers to the top row of letters on the keyboard.
Readability The smallest weight increment shown on a display.
Register A memory location within the scale where specific data is stored.
Remote Scale One or more additional Setra or strain gauge load cell bases, that are accessed by
means of the “remote” key on the controller keypad.
Reproducibility See “PRECISION”
Resolution The smallest change in mechanical input which produces a detectable change in the
output signal.
Set Points Target weight or count values that can be entered into the scale for filling or check
weighing applications. Set Points can be used to indicate when a weight or count is
within a specified range.
Span The calibration point which when combined with zero determines the slope of the line
that tracks the measured weight values as a function of applied load.
Tare The weight of an empty container. Also, the process of storing the weight of an empty
container and zeroing the scale’s display.
Transaction Log A location in the scale’s database where the results from each counting or weighing
operation are stored in chronological order.
Unit of Measure One of several available measures of weight such as grams, kilograms, pounds or
ounces.
Zero Tracking Automatic subtraction of small changes in weight readings due to temperature or
other enviromental factors to maintain a displayed reading at zero over an extended
period of time.
