G4 Multi Channel Weighing Instrument 

 

 

3-11 

Parameters 

On the following pages a survey of all parameters is presented. The parameters are 
divided in groups following the menu they belong to. For choice parameters the 
available choices are given. For numerical parameters, a value range is given.  

At the end of the table, the default value is given in <  >.  

To the right there is a short parameter explanation and, 

in italic,

 the results for  

the different alternatives.
