The use of barcodes in the laboratory
has become a highly accurate, rapid and
inexpensive way to identify samples. When
purchasing this feature, the user must
supply Parr with the MAC address of the
calorimeter (found in the Software &
Hardware Info menu screen). This allows
Parr to activate the feature key.
In order to enable the calorimeter to use
the bar code feature, the feature key needs
to be entered into the instrument. Select
the “Program Information and Control” key
from the Main Menu. Next, select “Feature
Key” and enter the feature key
purchased from Parr Instrument
Company into the instrument by using the
touchpad. Pressing the key labeled “ABC”
allows the user to switch from upper case
letters, to lower case letters and finally to
numerals.. A CD containing all the
necessary documentation and setup
information for using both the scanner and
the printer is provided at the time of
purchase. A PC based program used for
printing bar coded labels is also provided on
this CD
.
These keys allow the user to specify the
IP addresses of one or more Balance
Interface devices on the network. Balance
Interface devices are polled from device
1 to 15 for sample and / or spike
weights when the weight entry mode is
set to Network.
