Balance
Problem
Cause
Remedy
The sample size is
not or not correctly
received.
The parameters of the
RS-232 interface are
wrongly set.
Correct the RS-232 parameters (see page
39ff). They have to match with those of the
balance.
The connection cable is
unsuitable.
Use the RS-232 cable of the balance manufac-
turer or ask for the corresponding cable from
Metrohm.
