Animal Weighing
C
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g., live
animals) or to determine weights under
unstable ambient conditions. In this
program, the scale calculates the weight
as the average of a defined number of
individual weighing operations. These
weighing operations are also known as
“subweighing operations.”
You can use the “Animal Weighing”
application in combination with a pro-
gram chosen from Application 2
(checkweighing, time-controlled
functions) and one from Application
3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics) as
well as with the extra functions.
Available Features
– Animal weighing started manually or
automatically
– Automatic start:
– when a defined threshold has been
exceeded (Minimum load threshold:
10; 20; ...; 500; 1,000 display
increments)
– when three successive subweights lie
within a user-defined tolerance range
(calm; normal; active; 0.1%; 0.2%; ...;
50%; 100% of the animal/object)
– Manual start:
– also possible when the load is under
the minimum load threshold
– when three successive subweights lie
within a user-defined tolerance range
(calm; normal; active; 0.1.%; 0.2%;
...; 50%; 100% of the animal/object)
– Optional scale configuration in the
Setup menu for automatically initializing
this application when you turn on the
scale
– Number of weighing operations for
calculation of an average (
mDef
) can
be entered before the beginning of each
animal weighing operation
– The factor for calculation of the result
can be entered before the beginning
of each animal weighing operation
– The number of subweighs remaining
to be performed is indicated in the text
display during weighing
– Arithmetic average displayed as a result
in the pre-set weight unit (identified by
the
a
symbol).
– Optional multiplication of the
arithmetic average by a user-defined
factor
Mul
.
A circle “
o
” is displayed as weight unit
and
Mul = xxx
is shown in the
text line
– Toggling between the animal weight
and the calculated value by pressing the
xNet
soft key and the
xRes
soft
key
– Automatic output of results via the
interface port:
– Number of weighing operations
mDef
– Multiplication factor
Mul
– Automatic output of results (printout)
via the interface port:
– Weighing result
xNet
– Calculated result
xRes
The following options have to be
selected: Setup: Printout: Application-
defined: Auto print upon initialization:
All values
– The unload threshold is equal to
one-half the minimum scale capacity
– Return to weighing mode by unloading
the scale; i.e., when the load is below
the unload threshold

Printout for Animal Weighing
Upon completion of the averaging process,
you can have the results printed out auto-
matically. You can also have both the
weight and the calculated result printed.
