Die Sicherungsdatei auswählen und sofort werden die Einstellungen übertragen bzw. wieder hergestellt: Abb. 92 Abb. 93 5.10 Software Update Fig. 94 An update of the device software requires a USB stick containing a new version. For this operation, the two files that are needed have to be located in the root directory of the USB stick:...
Page 46
Plug the USB stick into a free USB-A port, wait for some seconds, and then select the Software Update function. The valid software updates will be shown on the display. In the present case this is Version „14_29“ from week 29, year 2014.
Page 47
Fig. 98 Upon completion of the update (approx. 2-3 minutes), the device will shut down the software completely and proceed to a new start. Please note: During the update, the device must not be switched off. Important: In the course of an update, the methods will not be deleted! You can continue to use them. If no valid update file is stored on the USB stick, the following message will appear: Fig.
Connection of Analytical Balances As it often happens that the sample is weighed in on an analytical balance, it makes sense to connect this ® ® balance to the TITRONIC 300. To connect the balance to the TITRONIC 300, the balance must have a RS- 232-C-interface and the connection cable must be configured accordingly.
Page 49
Fig.100 The balance data can be edited one by one. Following a change, a star will appear opposite the weighed-in quantity: Fig. 101 Weights may be deleted or added individually. It is also possible to delete all weights at one stroke. Fig.
