Purpose of This
Chapter
This chapter contains a glossary to explain terms and expressions used in this
Operating Manual.
Glossary Balance
– Instrument for determining the weight of something, scales.
– Setup function of the Instrument Software in which the communication of
the balance with the instrument is established so that the balance can be
used for the Gravimetric Test.
Balance Setup
Steps to be performed to adapt the balance parameters to the requirements of
an application (range, units, precision, etc.).
Communication Protocol
A standard set of rules that define how computers communicate with other
computers or devices. In order that connected computers and devices
“understand” each other they must use the same protocol.
Controller Area Network (CAN)
Network used to exchange information between connected devices.
Information is sent/received in the form of “messages” via a high-speed bus,
the CAN-bus. Each “message” consists of a “label” that is unique throughout
the network and a “data part”. From the label, the receiving device knows what
kind of information the data part contains.
Gravimetric Test
Test function implemented in the Instrument Software with which the precision
and the accuracy of the liquid transfer can be checked with the aid of an
external precision balance.
Instrument Software
Software package consisting of several interacting software programs (Setup
& Service, NPS Quick Test, Worktable Editor and Communication driver).
Protocol
See Communication Protocol
SAG 285/01
Precision balance, manufactured by Mettler Toledo, consisting of a Weighing
Cell and a separate Control unit.
Setup & Service Software
Part of the Instrument Software package with which the devices and options
installed on or connected to the instrument can be set up and tested.
Uniport
Interface board (used in Genesis RMP) with 4 RS-232 ports over which up to
4 external devices can be connected to the CAN bus of the instrument. Note
that the connection via Uniport is no longer supported by Instrument Software
V4.6 or later.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
An external bus standard that supports high data transfer rates. A single USB
port can be used to connect up to 127peripherals of various sorts (e.g. mice,
modems, keyboards etc.). USB also supports Plug and Play installation.
