Various interfaces
RS-232C、SI/F、USB interfaces is equipped as a standard feature
High sampling rate & resolution
High-Speed A/D conversion and powerful digital processing capability of 1200 times/sec.(Convertible to 300 times/sec.).High display resolution of 1/100000 (max).
Application software for USB interface(Free software)
With communication through USB interface, logging, graph, display, setting parameters, and calibration can be done.
Various functions useful for automated weighing systems
■ Equipped with data memory function
Latest 100 data of calibration value and error information with clock time are recorded and can be checked via USB interface.
■ Basic weighing process control function
Equipped with weighing sequence function to control feeding/discharge gate.
■ Memory for 32 weight settings
32 different weight settings can be saved in the memory and selected through I/O or interface.
Batch weighing can be performed easily.
■ Equivalent input calibration
Theoretical calibration can be performed easily by registering the capacity and rated output of load cells.
■ Input conversion value display
The output signal level of the connected load cell can be displayed in mV/V/ for monitor purpose.
Malfunction indicator or faulty sensor can be differentiated easily.
■ Multipoint calibration (linearization)
Three additional points can be defined in the middle between zero and span for better linearity.
Even though the scale has poor linearity, it can be corrected to be a highly accurate scale.
