The FillGuide

is a bar graph which ap-

pears in the upper right hand portion of the
display. When the load on the balance is at the balance's capacity, all of the segments
are on. When the load is at half capacity, only the first half of the segments are on.
During normal operation of the balance, the bar graph displays the relationship
between the load on the pan and the capacity of the balance. In the Fill Guide mode,
the bar graph can be set to a desired target value. The FillGuide

feature can be used

in any one of the available weighing units.

The Fill Option under the Setup Options submenu provides two choices for a reference
weight (similar to check weighing). Either a mass can be placed on the pan and used
as a reference weight or a number can be entered to establish the weight value. Both
methods are used to establish a reference for a 100% bar graph reading. Target
parameter provides two choices, one is fill to the reference weight. The other option
sets the reference weight to a negative value and allows the operator to see the delta
between the actual fill weight and the target weight.
