Assign balance automatically
Menu item "Device, Balance, Assign balance automatically"
Use this command to assign the balance automatically to an
analytical device. The balance will be assigned to that device
which, after the start of the determination, requires sample
data (sample identification, weight value or weight units) in a
request. In this way the balance can be used with several de-
vices at the same time.
The balance can be automatically assigned to the following
devices: Titrinos, KF Coulometer. If the menu item is gray the
balance cannot be automatically assigned to the corre-
sponding device.
In order for the device to be able to receive weighing data,
Vesuv must be able to transmit data to the instrument.
Step by step procedure:
1. Select the balance window.
Click the right mouse button.
2. Select the menu item "Properties, Options",
Assignment to device: Automatic assignment
3. Select the device window to which you want to automati-
cally assign the balance, go to the menu item "Device,
Balance, Assign balance automatically".
In the status bar of this device "Automatic" can be seen
beside the balance symbol.
4. Modify the methods on your instrument so that the sam-
ple weight is requested after the start of the determina-
tion.
For back-weighing the request for the sample weight is
sufficient. For direct weighing the sample weight and the
units must be requested so that you can position the
sample at the titration place after weighing.
Rules
•
Identifications cannot be transmitted from the balance to
the device.
•
Sample weight: Only the numerical value with sign (no
units) will be transmitted to the device.
•
The timeouts of the device and balance must be the
same length ("Properties of the device/balance window,
Communication").
