17.7. Animal weighing
Working mode <Animal weighing> enables reliable determining mass of objects
in motion. In principle, these types of objects generate unstable measurement,
thus it requires using a different filtering method of measurement signal.
17.7.1.
Supplementary settings for the Animal Weighing mode
Apart from standard settings for this mode (described for the weighing mode),
additional settings have been introduced, the said settings describe operation of
the mode.
Available options:
•
AVERAGING TIME
– Amount of time during which measurement records
of weighed sample are analysed. Obtained data is used to determine
average measurement result
•
THRESHOLD
- It is a value expressed in mass measuring units. In order
to start measurement, the indication value has to exceed value set in the
threshold.
•
AUTOSTART
- Determines start criterion for measurements: whether they
are initiated manually, on pressing a button or selecting START, or
automatically.
When the parameter is set to <YES> option, the measurement starts
automatically if indication on balance display exceeds the value of set
threshold. The following measurement can start on removing the weighed
object from balance pan (the indication has to return below the value set in
threshold), loading a new object, and exceeding the threshold’s value by
the indication.
It is necessary to adjust settings of the above options values prior to tests. The
selected options shall be respective to needs and expectations resulting from
working environment.
F button shortcuts
The function facilitates declaring quick access for weighing functions, which are
to be enabled upon pressing buttons F1, F2, F3 or F4.
For <
ANIMAL WEIGHING
> mode the following options are available, they can
be assigned to any of the
F
buttons:
NONE
– no function assigned to the button
START
– function initiates weighing of the object placed on the weighing pan -
manual mode (AUTOSTART parameter set to NO value)
