62 Operating Instructions Combics CAIXS2
Operation
The minimum load can be set in 10 steps, from 1 to 1000 digits (see Available
parameters). The “digits" here refer to the scale intervals in the connected weighing
platform. If the interval of the connected platform is 1 g, for example, and
1000 digits are required, you must place at least 1000 g (= 1000 intervals =
1000 digits) on the weighing platform for initialization.
Start measurement
The averaging routine does not begin until the fluctuation in weight value remains
below a defined threshold over three consecutive measurements. The tolerance limit
is defined as a percentage of the animal or object weight (for example, 0.1%, 0.2%,
..., 50%, 100%), configured in Setup under:
Activity
menu item 3.19.
If the “Averaging” parameter is set to 2%, for example, and the animal or object
weighs 10 kg, measurement does not begin until the fluctuation in weight value
remains below 200 g during three consecutive measurements.
Display
A calculated average value is shown continuously on the main display.
The
G
symbol indicates the calculated value.
You can toggle between the results display and the current scale display by pressing
the
w
key.
Setting:

You can select “Display is static until unload threshold reached” to have the display
switch automatically to the weight readout when you unload the weighing platform
(i.e., when the load is less than half the minimum load). The result of the most
recent averaging operation is not saved.
If you select “Display is static until the
c
key is pressed," the calculated average
remains displayed even after the weighing platform is unloaded, until you press the
c
key or begin a new measurement.
Example
: The weight of one mouse should be measured.
Configuration: The “Animal Weighing" application is selected, and printout has
been set up (see “Configuration").
