3.2 Totalising and batching

Totalising means that the individual pieces are weighed one after the other. The

weight is added in the total memory and the scale is clipped off after each
weighing operation.

Batching means that the weighed pieces remain on the scale.
The weight is added in the total memory and the scale is zeroed without being
clipped off.
A change in measuring point during batching is not possible.

The choice between totalising and batching is defined in Setting mode.
This selection applies to all connected weighing platforms.
As an example, we will only describe the totalising function here.

Total memory with several connected scales

A central total memory is managed for all connected scales.

Total memory capacity: The total memory holds a maximum of 999 entries.
The total memory must then be cleared.

3.2.1 Function keys

3.2.6 Clip off factor when totalising

(no function when batching)
In Setting mode, you can define (see manual) whether the scale must be clipped off each time you
place an individual piece by 1 to 30 increments.
If the scale is not clipped off, the weight unit is not accepted in the total memory. This prevents opera­tions such as double counting of a piece.

3.2.7 Automatic totalising

See the description of the function in the CD manual.

3.2.8 Assigning and clearing the consecutive number

Every input (Plus, Manual, Cancel) in the total memory is assigned a 4-digit consecutive number.
