2.7 Graphic Display Menu 2.7.1 Overview The CBX-K and CBW-K series balance has a bar graph located on the left side of the display. This graph can be conveniently used for liquid weighing and pass or failure judgment (comparator function) of the sample.
value is the numeric value that is the desired amount in the unit that is used for weighing. The value is the numeric amount above or below the target value that is acceptable. This mode is useful for constant amount weighing of liquid or judgment of excess and shortage. Menu Map item [12] selects the Target mode.
2.8 Environment Menu 2.8.1 Overview Settings on the balance can be changed to compensate for the installation environment such as the degree of vibration etc. or for the purpose of weighing a solid, liquid or powder. 2.8.2 Averaging It is possible to match the stability of the display and the degree of response with the requirements of specific applications.
2.8.4 Tracking Tracking is the function that will maintain the current displayed value as long as possible. Menu Map item [34] Turns ON this function. Menu Map item [35] Turns OFF this function. Zero Tracking Function When the display is zero, menu functions as "zero tracking"...
2.8.6 Whole Lighting Mode Press the key to switch from the standby mode to the mass display. The entire display is illuminated. This function sets whether the display automatically proceeds to mass display or waits for key command. When the mode has been set to , it is easier to check the display because the display remains illuminated.
2.9 Application Menu 2.9.1 Overview The Application Measurement function is the generic name of the functions used to perform measurement work using the balance in more efficient ways. Only one Application Measurement function can be used at a time. When the power is turned ON, the balance will begin in the function mode that was last set.
2.9.3 Auto Zero Select Menu Map item [41]. When the displayed value is within the Zero Range and the stability symbol has illuminated, zeroing occurs automatically. The symbol appears in the display when the Auto Zero function is active. Other keys function as expected with the Auto Zero function activated. 2.9.4 Auto Print Auto Print function allows output of the data automatically without pressing the key for each...
Menu Map item [46] (on /continue) By pressing the key while the symbols are lit, symbol goes out, the symbol lights and the displayed data is continuously output. Continuous output stops temporarily when the key is pressed. Note: During continuous output, the symbol may appear to remain lit.
2.9.6 Interval Timer Automatically outputs the displayed value at preset intervals. The symbol is illuminated when the Interval Timer is activated. The optional AKB-301 Application Keyboard is convenient when the interval is changed frequently. 1) Using Menu Map item [50], set the output interval (00:01 = 1 sec to 99:59 = 99 minutes 59 seconds).
4) For the next sample, additional weighing is performed without pressing the key. 5) Press the key. The balance returns to the Auto-Memory and Zeroing standby state and total mass on the pan without the tare is displayed. Press the key to print this value.
It is possible to display units other than "kg" with the CBX-K and CBW-K series of balances. Before weighing, set the display units to be used with the unit setting menu [54] to [62]. (Unit kg, %, number (PCS) were set before shipment.)
Note: The numbers of digits displayed in the % unit and rounding off of the minimum digit vary depending on the mass value of the reference sample and the balance model. It is not possible to obtain resolution greater than that in the “g” unit. The weight of subsequent samples are displayed as a percentage of the reference sample weight.
2.10.4 Solid Specific Gravity Measurement Solid specific gravity measurement refers to the measurement of the sample (solid) weight in the air and in a liquid of known density and the calculation of the sample density. The ▼d symbol is used to represent the solid density unit in this balance. The data output unit is DS. 1) Set Menu Map item [60].
2.10.5 Liquid Specific Gravity Measurement Liquid specific gravity measurement refers to the measurement of the weight of a reference solid of a known volume in air and in the sample liquid. Specific gravity for the liquid is calculated from these two values of.
