1.11.2 Counting Application
The 1280 counting application is included with the 1280 standard firmware. This application has two scales, one
for sampling and one for counting. Upon startup, the softkeys
Sample Size, Scale Select, APW, Clear Tare
and
Setup
Menu
are available.
Select Sample Size
1. Press the
Sample Size
softkey. The sample size will toggle to five pieces. If pressed again it will toggle to 10
pieces, then 20, then 50, then 100, then 200, then back to five.
2. Press
Sample Size
once to enter
Sample Size Mode
. Press a numeric key followed by the
Enter
key to enter any
number as the sample size (instead of toggling to one of the choices listed above).
3. Once the correct sample size is displayed in the softkey, press
Enter
to calculate the APW based on the current
weight, current scale and current sample size. The number of pieces will display. This number is continuously
updated as the weight or scale selected changes.
Select Scale
1. Press the
Scale Select
softkey to switch between scales.
2. There are two scales available. Typically one is used for sampling (smaller capacity) and one is used for
counting (larger capacity). This application works the same for both scales, or if only one scale is used for
both sampling and counting. The piece count is always referencing the current scale that is displayed.
Enter APW
Press the
APW
softkey to enter a new known APW for the current part.
Counting Pieces
The number of pieces will display. This number is continuously updated as the weight, scale selected or mode
selected changes. This includes adding pieces or removing pieces, as well as going to a negative net as pieces are
removed from a net zero weight. For example, if a full box was placed on the scale,
Tare
was pressed to tare off the
weight to net zero, and then the count pieces were removed, the scale would display a negative number.
Gross: 10.25 lb
