Add-On function Identification
With the Add-On function “Identification” you can insert free identifications, labels, batch numbers or sample counters for measured values and much more into your protocol. The same information can also be shown on the display, as you can see at “Info section”.
Identifications can be used in many different ways as e.g. different types of articles are to be tested in different lots and different quantities/samples of the article per lot. The number is entered e.g. with a barcode reader, the lot number per keyboard and the number of the sample is counted automatically.
To change the content of an identifier you can place a soft key on the “Action bar” or use “Auto entry” what opens a text field automatically for each printout.
Setting up identifications
The behavior of the identifications can be defined in many different ways by selection of one of the available identifications. The identifications has default names ID 1, ID 2, ID 3, … which is different than shown here.
Define an identification
Once an identification has been selected the menu as below appears to set it according the requirement.
Name
Name of the identification itself what is shown in the menu, used to place a soft button on the “Action bar” and printout. It always remains the same.
Mode
Defines the behavior of the text content of the identifier.
Text fixed: The text is fixed and cannot be changed. Even if a soft key is placed on the “Action bar” it is not possible to press it.
Text edit: The text can changed and retained for all the subsequent weighing until it is overwritten
Text volatile: The text can changed, but is deleted after the printout
Text
The content of the identifier what is printout after the name.
Auto entry
Switches on the auto entry to input new text content of the identifier
On: Before printing, a field for text input is automatically opened
Off: No field for text input is showed, therefore you need to place a soft key on the “Action bar” or change the content in the identifier setting
Counter
Switches on the counter which is print out after the name and the text content. In addition it allows you to enter a start value for the counter. The counter is incremented before each printout.
Start value
Start value of the counter
Example
Identifier ID 1 is used as to printout the article name what can be changed anytime by pressing the soft key {ID Article:} on the “Action bar”
Identifier ID 2 is used to printout a check has passed with “Ok” or ”No” which needs to be input for each weighing
Identifier ID 3 is used to printout a classification about how the check was passed with ”A”, “B”, … which needs to be input for each weighing
Identifier ID 4 is used to printout a counter for the checks
