H.2 The Auto-Tare function
This function supplies a way to define the meaning of the
setpoint
parameter:
* When the ‘AutoTare’ option is
not
activated, the setpoint
defines the requested
final gross weight
.
That is, if the setpoint is 100 kg and the starting gross weight
is 90 kg, the filling amount will be 10 kg.
* When the ‘AutoTare’ option is activated, the setpoint
defines the requested
filling amount
.
That is, if the setpoint is 100 kg, the filling amount will also
be 100 kg, regardless of the starting gross weight.
However, the filling operation will take place only if the starting
gross weight is within a user pre-defined range; otherwise, the
filling operation will be rejected and an error will be indicated.
The activation of the ‘Auto-Tare’ option as well as its parameters are
described in section E.4.1.2.
