7) Specifying settings for PREDICT (Predictive measuring) mode
This mode is designed for use in reducing the amount of time required for performing measurements by
calculating a predicted final measurement from data obtained on changes in moisture content while drying is
still in progress.
Note that some materials have properties which make it difficult to obtain accurate predictions. Also note that
predictive measuring mode should to be used only after conducting measurements in comparative
measuring mode to check the precision of measurement and the possible effectiveness in terms of
shortening the measuring time.
Key(s) used Operating instructions
With the display displaying the weight in grams, press the
key.
If a password has been specified, the message ‘PASS’ will be
displayed to indicate that a password should be entered. Follow
the instructions in “10-2-7 Specifying a password” on p. 46 to
enter the password.
The ‘CONDITIONS’ display area will begin to flash. Press the
key until ‘MODE’ begins to flash.
With the ‘MODE’ display area flashing, press the key. This
will cause the highlight to shift to measuring mode selection and
for the currently specified measuring mode to begin flashing.
Press the key until ‘PRD’ begins to flash.
* If ‘PRD’ is already flashing, then proceed directly on to the next
step.
When ‘PRD’ begins to flash, press the key. ‘PRD’ will then
change from a flashing to a constantly lit display and you will next
be required to specify the predicted value convergence range
settings (see “
Predicted value convergence range” on p. 50).
The current setting for the predicted value convergence range will
begin to flash.
Press the key or key to select the desired automatic
halting conditions. A value of anywhere from 0.1 to 9.9 percent
may be specified in 0.1-percent increments. Note that here a
value of 0.5% has been selected.
When the desired automatic halting conditions have been
selected, press the
key. The specified setting will change
from a flashing to a constantly lit display, and ‘MODE’ will begin to
flash.
If you wish to specify other measuring conditions settings, press
the
key to select the setting to be specified.
To exit from specifying measuring conditions settings, press the
key instead.
