    1. Introduction 1. Introduction Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances are a product of our 80 year history of developing and manufacturing weighing instruments. Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances utilize the patented Shimadzu UniBloc sensor, intro- duced in 1989, to achieve high performance, fast response, and durability. Available features include multiple units of measure, piece counting, checkweighing functions, auto print, and GLP/GMP/ISO out- put including date and time data from a built-in clock.

Select menu item to activate Animal Weighing mode. Also, optimize the operational condition (See the following), “Stability Detection Band (11.3.1)” and “Timing of Stability Mark Illumination and Data Output (11.3.2)”...
  • Page 91 14. Application Functions (Operational condition setting check display) (Display) When Cond 3 is selected When Cond 2 is selected When Cond 1 is selected (Operation) The Animal symbol is illuminated when this mode is active. Also a triangular symbol to indicate the cur- rently set operational condition is illuminated in the right end of the display (See the above).
  • Page 92 14. Application Functions Notes • On the premise of weighing animated objects, the stability detection band is automatically extended in the Animal Weighing mode. Repro- ducibility of the measurement data is slightly less than with other modes. If a larger stability detection band is selected with the menu (See 11.3.1), stability detection is more readily made and the output of measurement result usually becomes faster.

  • Page 93: Formulation Mode

    14. Application Functions 14.7 Formulation Mode This function is convenient for weighing in the components of a formulation. The mass of each compo- nent is displayed and stored Every time a component is added and [PRINT] key is pressed, the mass of that component is output through RS-232C or DATA I/O interface and the display will be automati- cally zeroed.
  • Page 94 14. Application Functions Notes • Set the Stability and Response to Pouring mode (menu item , See 11.2) if faster response is required. • When the [POWER] key is pressed in the Formulation standby state, the power standby state is initiated. •...

    15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments 15.2.2 Data Format The detailed information on the standard format for Shimadzu electronic balances (Menu item , “EB type”. Refer to 15.3.3) is given here. (1) Basic format An example of data format of a negative value (-186.65g) with delimiter of C/R is shown.
  • Page 98 15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments (iv) When the delimiter “C/R+L/F” is selected (Menu item No. . Refer to 15.3.7.) The delimiter information requires one more character. Therefore one more byte is added after Position No.12 in the above example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 byte longer. (3) Data format in case of “oL”...

    15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments 15.2.4 Multi-Connection Mode A maximum of 26 UW/UX series balances can be connected to one personal computer at the same time. This is called “Multi-Connection mode.” To use the balance in this mode, prepare RS-232C cables in the number of balances connected, and the optional IFB-102A RS-232C Interface. Connecting Method Example for connecting 10 units of UW/UX series balances to one personal computer is shown in the diagram below.

  • Page 106 15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments Restricted Items in the Multi-Connection Mode • Multi-Connection mode is not designed for each balance to independently send the data. This mode is for sampling the data by control of multiple balances with one PC. This is not the func- tion to support multiple balances for sending the data separately.
