Discover the capabilities of the balance
The balance is equipped with a high resolution touch screen panel and 6 fix integrated operation keys. The ease of operation is maintained by a highly intuitive user Interface. The touch panel is operable through standard laboratory rubber and silicon gloves as well as cotton gloves.
Keypad
The 6 fixed operation keys serves to perform the most used operations as:
[On/Off]: |
[Print]: |
Navigation
Navigation from the current application to the Users Screen or the Applications Screen is done by clicking the [USERS] or the [APPLICATIONS] button. Thus a quick change of applications or user can be performed very easy.
Vertical scrolling is performed by a simple pan. Typically used for screens with more than 12 Icons or for menu items exceeding the standard screen height.
Saving screen shots
To create meaningful SOP’s or in a discussions with customers service and support a screen shot is often very useful. To save a screen shot:
Plug a USB memory stick into the USB HOST connector on the back side of the balance,
press [User] for about 2seconds,
press [Print] until a sound informs the screen shot is saved on the USB memory stick in the folder “screenshot” as bitmap “.BMP”
The fix part of the Screen
Some components of the screen are always present and therefore fix positioned.
1 Headline
In the header line, the balance-specific data such as the maximum weighing range "Max", the minimum weight "Min", the readability "d", the verification interval "e" and the user "Administrator", date and time are displayed.
2 Designation of the applications or the current application
Here you can see where you are at the moment. This can be the always identically named Users Screen, the always identically named Applications Screen, the application itself or the name of the current menu. An application is labeled with the currently running application, such as Weighing, Counting, Density determination, Adjustment, etc.
3 Auxiliary information
Symbols for connected peripherals such as keyboard, USB stick, etc. or active network connections or a WLAN are displayed here.
4 Help
The help is structured as context-related help. Consequently, tapping the help icon loads the appropriate help in context to the current menu, application or setting. Searching in a manual is practically eliminated.
5 Home
Returns from any situation to the application screen. This is extremely helpful in more complex hierarchies which can be left very quickly.
The Application Screen
Depending on the application and its settings, various components are displayed on the screen.
1 Context menu
Tap on the context menu tab to open the functions available for the current application as Add-On's or other specific settings and functions.
2 Customizer
The “Customizer” allows you to customize the screen and the soft keys. This is done by simply moving and assigning predefined buttons in the “Action bar” or values to show in the “Info section”.
3 Status symbols
NET indicates that the balance has been tared and the displayed value corresponds to the net value.
PT indicates that an externally entered tare value is stored in the balance.
4 Notes
Note, for example, that the balance is no longer levelled and should therefore be levelled again or that the scale should be re-adjusted.
5 Add-On
Basically, all applications can be extended in their functionality by so-called Add-On's. A typical example is the "Statistics" Add-On's, which statistically processes the values measured, for example, in the “Weighing” application.
6 Secondary display
For certain applications the weight is displayed here. For example, in the “Counting” application, the main display shows the quantity and the second display shows the weight.
7 Capacity display
Graphical display of how much of the entire weighing range is currently being used.
8 Info section
The “Info section” are displayed here as they have been defined for the “Info section” in the customizer.
9 Weight
The weight value in the selected unit is displayed here.
10 Stability indicator
After a change in weight, the indicator appears as
a red circular ring which decreases with increasing stability.
Basically, a weight value is considered stable and therefore valid
when the indicator (red ring) is no longer visible.
If the
indicator disappears very slowly, this means that the weighing is
disturbed, e.g. by drafts, vibrations of the location or other
influences. You should therefore change or optimize the location.
11 Action bar
The balance provides an extensive list of predefined buttons that can be placed in the “Action bar”. This makes it very easy to create customer-specific layouts. The settings can be set and are valid for each application.
Warnings, Status messages
Warnings and status messages, e.g. that the minimum initial sample weight has not been reached, that a printout has been waiting for or is active, or that the static discharge is currently running.
