  • Page 72 Changing the Reference Sample Quantity “nRef” You can change the reference sample quantity in cycles by pressing g/W key. Use the number keys 0 –9 and the u/w key to enter piece counts. Choose from the following settings for the reference sample quantity: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and a user-definable number (factory setting: 999).
  • Page 73 Simple Counting The QC counting program is set at the factory so that you can begin counting without changing any settings. If you want to change the factory-set reference sample quantity, press g/W (13) to select one of the settings (5, 10, 20, 50, 100 or user-definable quantity –- this latter setting has been factory-set to 999*.
  • Page 74 Storage of Reference Weight To determine and optimize the reference weight “wRef” you can choose whether the weight calculated is stored according to the display accuracy, or with full accuracy according to the internal resolution. If you select the higher internal resolution you can choose whether the internal resolution is 10-fold or 100-fold that of the display accuracy.
  • Page 75 Criterion for Storage of Sample Weights and Tare Values (Only necessary with very low piece weights) To ensure that the calculation of the reference weights is as accurate and thus as reproducible as possible, you can set the scale for “increased stability.” This means that the weight stored is even more precisely calculated, which means the reference weight is also more precise.
  • Page 76 There are 3 different ways you can then re-start the counting process: 1. Press u/w again. The weighed value for calculation of the reference weight will now be stored with a longer weighing time and “increased stability.” 2. Empty the container and place it on the scale again. Press =/z or o/t.
  • Page 77 Reference Sample Updating After pressing u/w to start the counting application, you can change the reference sample quantity as desired. You either can update the reference sample quantity manually, by pressing u/w, or have it updated automatically during the counting process. Automatic reference sample updating is practical as long as the reference sample quantity is lower than 100 pieces.

  • Page 106: Data Output Formats

    Data Output Formats Depending on the menu code setting: 7 2 1 = without data ID code or 7 2 2 = with data ID code data will be output with either 16 (code 7 2 1) or 22 characters (code 7 2 2). For a data output of 22 characters, a 6-character ID precedes the 16 characters reserved for the weight or other value.

  • Page 110: Data Input Formats

    Data Input Formats Commands can be input via the scale interface port to control the scale functions. Control commands with upper-case letters or special characters are distinguished from those with lower-case letters. Format for Control Commands Each character must be transmitted with a start bit, a 7-bit ASCII-coded character, a parity bit, and one or two stop bits.

  • Page 111: Interface Commands

    Interface Commands Control Commands with Upper-Case Letters The command <ESC> <S>, for example, causes the processor to reinitialize (turns the scale off and back on again). The scale will operate according to the commands available up until the processor is reinitialized. Once the scale has been turned on, the processor will always recognize the codes entered by the user in the scale operating menu.

    In this case, data will be output but not received.

  • Page 118 Activating a Data Output Process You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated either automatically or when a print command is received. You have two options for the automatic mode: data output can be either synchronous with the scale display or activated at defined intervals (to select the parameter, see “Utilities for Printouts or Data Transfer”).

The voltage levels of the data output ports will change according to various patterns, depending on the reference weight limit and on the lower and upper weight limits.

    Note for use with commercially available RS-232 cable: RS-232 cables purchased elsewhere often have pin assignments that differ from those of Sartorius connecting cables. Always check the cabling diagrams of the equipment used before installation, and disconnect any lines that have inappropriate assignments (e.g. pin 6).
